Australia’s appetite to explore the great outdoors has helped create a new category of so-called ‘super utes’. These are the best of the breed.
The Jeep Gladiator Rubicon’s payload of 693kg, towing capacity of 2721kg, and wading depth of 760mm compare to the Ford Ranger Raptor (714kg, 2500kg, 850mm) and the Nissan Navara Pro-4X Warrior (952kg, 3500kg, 600mm).

I hope to visit Australia one day! After Covid, of course.
Great review again. No doubt that ford knows how to build a great off-road Ute. It’s a shame the gladiator only comes with 32 inch muddies. I believe the US gets 33 inch tyres and with the high clearance fenders, so you can fit 35 inch tyres without a lift(helps the ramp over angle). US gladiator also has the diesel as an option. As I see it, if you want a Ute ready to go, you can’t go past the ranger. If you want something to build, the gladiator has you covered in the after market.
The wrangler would have been a better comparison . Shorter wheel base
There is only one true off-road vehicle in Australia, it’s a wrangler rubicon. So I’m not talking tourer, on road comfort or fuel economy. The wrangler has no competition off-road.
@@danwhite9436 yeah until Bronco raptor enters
In my book jeep is the best. Solid axels, coil springs with great articulation, lockers, bead lock capable 35s from factory with good gear ratio, decent shocks, great after market support. Reasonable price tag compared to Raptor. Great for overlanding and even better for hard trails. it's an absolute winner. Ford Raptor is good in a stock form, but it's expensive to mod up and even harder to maintain comparing with Jeep JT.
Great review, as usual, it makes me want to go to Australia and plan a long road trip out into the bush with me wife and kids. Maybe one day.
I feel like Ford are making some good vehicles; the Raptor, Wildtrack, the Everest, the Puma too. Besides the Ranger line, they seem to struggle to get bandwidth in the market. Not really sure why, a marketing issue perhaps.
In Australia ford lacked marketing, even the Falcon was never advertised which showed in sales.
@@titanx04 RIP Ford Falcon & Falcon Ute!
Where's the guys who ask how much Ford is paying? Raptor is still the best Ute, and we all know it.
Only when they disagree with our decision ;)
Clearly ford paid more again
raptor the king from cambodian ❤️
I prefer the Nissan Navara the Ford looks old on the outside and on the inside I don't know how they say that Navara is old if the Ford is the oldest it hasn't changed at all looks the same.
Exactly, was thinking that when he was talking sat in the Ford,
id like to see more reviews and challenges for fords ranger fx4 max which is an upgrade from the wildtrack a close to raptor style see how close it is to the raptor like
Love your reviews, comparison and esspecially road trips!
RIP Ford Falcon Ute.
Ranger Interior looks like a Focus, don't know why judges love it so much.
Why review utes without putting any load on the tray ?
Remember the days when spending 80k on a vehicle was only exclusive to luxury brands, I guess those days are gone, it is beyond me why anyone would spend that much on a bush bashing 4x4.
remember the days when houses only cost 50k?
Its called inflation. Everything costs more as time goes on.
I reckon many of us users out here in the real world would think carefully about buying a Ranger XLT or Wildtrak or SR5 and spend some very wise $ and you will have a much better vehicle in nearly every regard for the same $ as these expensive utes. Ford is ripping buyers off with the Raptor at this price point, $20K spend on the above vehicles get handling, barwork, lighting, towbars, better towing, canopy, fuel filters, drawer systems, racks plus the fridge full of beer. I know where my $ have gone, finding a 9000km 2021 SR5 (very fortunate) and spending $20k, what an amazing capable vehicle fully 4WD capable and touring and towing capable. If I did not find the SR5 it would have been a 3.2 Wildtrak or XLT. Plus 10 speed auto and 2.oL Biturbo is unpopular in resale and has 'issues' that seem to be coming evident after 100k+. Ford have wrung the neck out of 2.0L and for 4WDing that aint a happy scenario methinks.
Yes absolutely, to get the 500nm from a 2.0 litre engine you can bet those turbos are running hot baby... Turbo issues anyone......?
The gladiator is just so big for a small tray. It's almost 25 cm longer then the standard ute.
What about the ranger can't tow 3500kg and the load capacity is also down,well compromised.
love it raptor
Why are the other cars aren't available in the European and American continent and vice versa to asia?
In terms of reliability, the Nissan is on top. The Fiat Wrangler has issues. The Fords Ecoboost have proven to be troublesome with cam phasers and what not. Id take the Nissan.
Ironically these are the three most unreliable utes in Australia. I will take the Hilux, DMax or BT50 any day over those.
Hilux? That thing has no of injector , air box, air filter ,radiator issues and most of them going to limp mode and broke down its literally an aid on 4 wheels Isuzu is a good workhorse but ironically they are still garbage in front of Raptor , navara or gladiator
@@davejones9860 lol no surprise coming from someone who has a jeep as their profile photo. It’s a known fact Rangers and Jeeps are amongst the most unreliable 4wds in the world. There is nothing to argue with mate. Unless you are looking for fight
Totally mate. The Navara is ok though. As for the Jeep, shitbox on wheels. "Only stupid people buy them" - Scotty Kilmer
@@DJTrumpMAGA wth ranger unreliable? That's why its rated most reliable midsize ute be it in usa or australia (3.2 version ) ranger has been more over a decade and still the best ute although can't expect more from a a person who drives a garbage like toyota and has jóe Biden in his profile 😆😆🤣 no brain no logic !
@@DJTrumpMAGA it's known fact new Hilux is a pos💩 not even comparison to Ranger and how did you call ranger unreliable? Are you out of your mind or what ?
Can hardly find any utes without those stupid looking sports bars on the tray.
Nissan Navara STX, We've got the 21 model, no sports bars,
That JEEP looks like Mahindra MAXX.
BUT...no one wants a car like this to tow...Hmmm Ok.
Ford fanboys
Navara's interior is ugly tbh... get rid of those chrome plastic its yuck!
The Rubicon has to be the ugliest car ive ever seen state of it if i got it for free i wouldnt drive it.
RAPTOR the King Best looking off-road midsize ute!
In value perspective I like Navara better. More payload and towing capability, comes with a metal bumper/bull bar, lifted and bigger tyres all warranted by Nissan. It’s better than doing it all aftermarket.
The Navara is an absolute Weapon when towing heavy loads up mountains here in NZ, doesn't even change engine tone.
Not convinced, dash isn't as nice as Nevara (which is better imo) 2.5ton towing capable, which rules it out immediately for me towing a heavy caravan, fussy ten speed box (at last reviewers are acknowledging this)
Most owners here in NZ ditch rangers before they hit the 100k km mark as transmission failures abound at that point onwards, you only have to look in the car yards here.
Ford designed the transmission to go for 400k km, but NZ's love of caravanning and boating combined with mountains hammers that down. Fact.
That's why ranger is the best selling ute of newzealand and even in pic raptor interior looks way better ! I am in many ranger group and hardly anyone talks about transmission it's more about turbo and injector issues now !
@@hotrod7603 interesting
Seems like these trucks are only "SUPER TRUCKS" because of looks.. Ohhh racing stripes !!
Have you driven a Ranger Raptor on highway? 180km/h nonstop... That thing doesnt care about the curves.
Nice kompetisi
The Gladiator is the best hands down, we just need it with a 5.7 or 6.4 Hemi and the 3.0 Ecodiesel.
Watch the video again !
King RAPTOR
🤮
Why don't they bring these to the US...?
Ranger raptor is the oldest out of the 3 and yet still beats them that's saying something.
N no Hilux Rugged X?
Have to disagree. The Rubicon is superior offroad, by a fair margin.
First
Rugged X is a beast.
No it’s not ,x is for wiggles
