Mid sized SUV sized.

Plenty of people use these off road. I have seen them to the doors in mud, and on plenty of trails. I use My Rubi X Gladiator 2-3 times a month off road. With all the things I have upgraded, It is pushing $90k. Many people buy them to use in the environment they were intended.

The X Package is a $10k package. It adds basically all the opti0ns available to the Wrangler and Gladiator adding luxury features as well as being more capable off road over a standard model.

It needs to be Hybrid, and slot in below the Grand Cherokee above the Compass. 

Are you in Cullman AL? The Jeep Dealership down there is by far one of the best ones to ever deal with. Nothing but honest people who just want to help out the customer. People around here drive 100 miles just to do business there.

The manual transmission gearing is to far apart between gears, it has a fragile clutch which is very easy to burn out, The engine is derated on the Manuals vs the Automatics, and it gives the Gladiator the lowest tow rating of any of them. up to 7760lbs tow capacity with the Auto, and 4,500lbs with the manual.

The gladiator is better Off Road which is really the only reason you buy a Gladiator. That and they tow more than the Toyota and Ranger. Yes I have a Gladiator Rubicon X and it’s absolutely fantastic at what it does best which is Off-roading. Not the stuff you see Rangers, Tacomas, and other trucks do, Hard stuff like…

That is a Coyote in that Fox body and it has a turbo. It is probably pushing north of 1,200 HP. Not really a fair comparison.

This didn’t Age well. 

Deer are everywhere. I see them every day this time of year and I have hit them with my truck a couple of times, which is why I put Ranch Hands on all my trucks. If they run out in front of me I don’t even worry about it anymore. 

Not seeing any good AT/MT tires on this list. Falken, BF Goodrich both make top tier tires in this category that serious off road people use. Nobody uses Michelins on the trails.

Normal operating procedure for most Government contractors. We cannot have any funds left over for a yearly budget or else we loose that excess amount on the next years budget. This is why we buy silly expensive things like robots that we put into storage, and various pieces of equipment we don’t necessarily need. I…

This is normal for every Government contractor. I work for one, and It isn’t necessarily the fault of the contractor as to why costs are the way they are. The Customer (Government) has requirements for every single thing they buy, and a lot of engineering, testing, and inspections go into whatever they are buying. I…

The Wrangler and Gladiator did that. It is a MB Jeep 

In the Wrangler and Gladiator they use a 1941 MB Jeep for that vehicle. 

You don’t buy a Wrangler or Gladiator if you don’t plan on using it at least 40% off Road. while the new ones are pretty comfortable on-road, they don’t really come into their own unless they are getting dirty. They do off-road better than anything else out there. 2 door Jeeps especially shouldn’t even be sold with…

James Spann is the guy we listen to here in Alabama. No Nonsense straight facts when it comes to his forecasts. Westleys is for sale too if anyone is interested :D

The rail infrastructure is in no way able to move that many people in a weeks time yet alone 3 days. This isn’t Europe. 

There aren’t many roads under 45mph around where I am. The main drag through town is 50mph. All Roads outside of town are 55-65mph. That plus its a good 8-10 miles for anyone to go anywhere, and 60 miles to a major city one way means that little car wouldn’t work for the entire community of 25,000 people I live in. It…

We Have road legal golf carts here. we don’t need mini cars.
