Strange apples to oranges Gladiator comparison

[Chocolate Thunder]

A loaded $60K Gladiator against a pretty basic Ford Ranger. I think they should have waited and compared it to a Ranger Raptor when it’s available here.

So a 20k cheaper ranger is basically just as good???

Your takeaway was completely different from mine.

The Ranger looks like shit though..

I just watched a review on the Ranger Raptor and it makes me wonder why its not offered here in the US... It seems to have the same marketing scheme as the F-150 Raptor. Drive super fast on Sand! But looks like a good off roader.



Almost 2 million Pesos though!

And the doors and roof are much more difficult to remove

I predict that it’ll make it here within a few years if Ranger sales are strong. And I think they will be.

I agree, I doubt it will be a direct competitor to the Wrangler, but go after the Tacoma and Gladiator crowds.

Not a fan of the Gladiator...it looks ridiculous, it is trying way to hard to be a pickup, and looks like it is 14 miles long, maybe it would look better in a 2dr, but I havn't seen one in person yet, maybe it is totally a pic thing.
And it pisses me off that you can get D44s under a Gladiator sport and not a wrangler sport from factory.

That ranger looks like a boring pickup.

The Ranger Raptor however is SEXY AF

This may sound odd comping from a Sahara guy but.... I'm pretty meh on the Gladiator Overland... no factory AT tires... Come on!

Sport and Rubicon look pretty good though, especially in the tactical colors they neglected to offer on the Wrangler

Agreed with you on the Ranger though. Pretty pedestrian outside of the Raptor.

Ranger has a plastic transmission pan... no thanks!

Agree, that green would be awesome on a JL/JLU
