    Mine has been acting very funny. It can only pull for about 2 seconds at a time.

    Gladiator would be fun screwing around in the dirt, Tundra would be more comfortable on longer drives for sure

    I think the Gladiators look goofy unless you plan on putting at a minimum of about $10k into accessories. Of course I kind of feel that way about all Wranglers.

    The seats are super uncomfortable. On long road trips my whole body hurts. I wish someone would make aftermarket seats for them. The seats are a common complaint with taller people.

    This is experience with a jl, which is exactly the same inside as a jt gladiator.

    Make sure to get the max tow package to get the bigger 40/44 axles with lsd if you do end up buying one.

    Yeah I was looking into that, and included it in the payment estimator thing. Im really only looking at them because of a mix of price and offroad ability. What I had in mind before was a Tundra vs a Warlock Ram.
