    Ok, I bought my TRD brand new three years ago and have loved driving it but...I've been a Jeep guy and they didn't offer an off road truck, and now they do. Placed my order for the Gladiator Rubicon yesterday...it was nice while it lasted Yota.

    I also considered the Gladiator but then I came to my senses and remembered its a Fiat Chrysler product. I prefer to dive my vehicles more than I work on them.

    Great looking truck, also the gladiators are gonna suit the needs for a lot of people like yourself. Jeep guys who needed some bed space ! Sad to see you make the switch, but I know I’ll be test driving one when I start seeing them on the lots around here! I’ve had Jeeps in the past and they weren’t really for me, I used them as a truck most of the time.

    I've also been of the mind set, buy a Toyota truck for off roading...they cant be beat, until now.

    I would get one in a heart beat too, good looking truck without a doubt. Maybe one day when Fiat-Chrysler actually makes reliable vehicles I’ll jump ship:rolleyes:

    I won't deny...it's not cheap, but neither was my Tacoma. Why wait in life for things to be made perfect or perfected...life's too short so I jumped in.

    Did you somehow miss all the bitching from the first year model guys on this forum with all the problems they’ve had with their trucks? Toyota, leader in reliability having problems with third gens right out of the gate.

    Now you want to go buy a first year model Jeep. From a company who’s consistently been at the very bottom of every dependability and reliability chart for my entire life.

    Ok. Have fun with that.

    Trust me, I will...just like I did for the Tacoma, which by the way...was delivered to me from the factory low on transmission oil, and the rear diff leaked until I bitched and had them fix.

    All jokes aside if a persons goal is to get out in the trails with the most capable out of the box unit- new Rubicon is the way to go...

    Lol...believe it or not, I completely agree with you. But like I said earlier, life's too short.

    Last jeep I had broke down so many times it was unbearable.. so glad I switched to Toyota’s and only have to worry about oil changes. Good luck with the jeep, I dig it but can’t imagine dealing with all the headaches again.
