Showdown

The Ranger wasn't out when I bought my taco, or well, 4th taco. I'm not a huge fan. Some of the lines remind me of a minivan. I did seriously consider a Colorado with the diesel, but then I sat inside. The interior of those trucks must be modeled after a '98 Pontiac grand am/prix, whatever. It's like GM has some old schmuck managing interior design who just won't retire. I like to think his name is Lenny, he chain smokes camel lights, and he's about 87 years old.

 

Will the TRD pro grille fit?

 

"Check cashing" edition,

 

I have seen 1 Gladiator in Fl on the Veterans Expressway. Red in color, I am really not a fan of the Wrangler with a truck bed.

 

Lenny can be found in his Tasmanian devil t shirt playing scratch-offs and harassing the female cashier at the local gas station.

 

Saw my first Ranger about a month or two ago.

Just saw my first Gladiator last weekend. Cherry on top? It was halfway between Lawtey and Waldo, Florida...America's prior speed trap towns and some of the most podunk areas outside Gainesville.

 

Yeah I really don't understand why people continue to put up with GM interiors. Theyre garbage. Ford is only marginally better, but still not great. The JL wranglers and Gladiators on the other hand have very nice looking interiors.

 

Wait, so Ford sold 7,748 new 2019 rangers last month? That’s pretty strong actually.

 

Since Ford switched to the GM method of reporting Quartly sales instead of monthly we won't know until after June is over.

 

I'd be curious to know how many of those were fleet sales though.

 

Within 100 miles of me there are 36 gladiators for sale, starting at $45k but most seem to be at $55k. Also within 100 miles of me, there are 358 Rangers for sale, anywhere from $28k-40k. I haven’t seen any Gladiators in person, and probably one Ranger in person. Colorado’s are obviously more common than these, and I’ve seen one ZR2 so far and it was pretty bad ass.
