Tacoma vs. Gladiator

The entire Dodge connection cheapened the brand.
You like yours, that’s great. I won’t own one past the CJ model.

 

Removing the bullet proof drivetrains they used to have. But I guess thats the norm with most manufacturers these days including toyota.

 

Honda has been making the Accord in Marysville Ohio for over 25 years now.

 

And it shows.

Honda doesn’t pick America for manufacturing because of its high quality of labor but because Japan is so damn expensive.

 

How though? Dodge power wagon and raptor are freaking limos

 

Over the years I have steered clear of any Chrysler product due to the electrical issues. It seems like they have always had issues in this area.

I like the look of the gladiator, but it would feel like those electrical issues would pop up at some point and cost $$$ to fix. Again good looking truck but the other shoe dropping makes me pump the brakes.

 

I bought a Honda Accord with a V6 new in 2006. My wife had it for awhile and now one of my kids has it. It's not maintained as well as I'd like the current owner to do but it has over 150 k miles (250 k km) and still going strong. Has never needed any major repairs. One of the quickest cars I ever had.

 

Only thing to watch on those models is the transmissions. Engines are great.

 

Bought a 2012 lease return civic as a basic commuter car. 155,000 miles without a single issue. I doubt anything from a dodge dealer on the road can say that.

 

I mean I know a lot of people that have Dodge cars and trucks with over that mileage, but okay.

 

Watch the episode haha , very few trails are tight width wise, the full size have the height stock

As do I. However, most all have had one issue or another and have had warranty work.

 

Hm.

Definitely different kind of wheeling than here. Power wagon or raptor would not make it very far haha. Even Tacomas short wheelbase is too long for places that we go to.

 

Speaking of which I just bought a used 2020 Wrangler 2 door…
