    Man, I cant wait for the Gladiator to start being produced...




    so I can laugh at all the fools that think it will be a serious competitor to the Tacoma. The shit will probably go the way of the Dodo Bird after a few years.:rofl:

    (That was actually my comment)
    Maybe so. But I stated "Fiat-Chrysler" which started in 2014. Jeep reliability has been crap ever since.

    Meh. I guess you didn't keep them long enough to really be able to say since you had 8 in about 10 years???

    That's certainly less than the "3 year average". Do you still have any of them? Why did you move on?

    Why do you care? My Tacoma had more problems than all of them except one in 8 months of ownership.

    Why? Because you're commenting on their reliability when you admit to owning 50 in a short time frame.
    I can't see how you'd be qualified to speak to reliability if you didn't hold them for a number of years or miles. I can buy anything and say it was great and I've had no issues if I only keep them for six months.

    You are posting on a Toyota forum how great Jeeps are but own a Ford and don't want to give any more information.

    Article says the tailgate locks at 45* so that the tip of it is on the same plane as the top of the wheel wells. Works for hauling dirt bikes as well as your scenario :spending:

    Increased hood and windshield angles coupled with more "crush" in hood crumple zones. It's one of the reasons why most new sedans/coupes in the US have the same relative side profiles.

    A stock Taco DCSB TRD/OR 4WD will be better offroad compared to a JT.

    - Taco breakover angle is much better
    - Taco turning circle is much better

    Those are big deals if you want to compare versatility.
