- I got my hands on America's two newest mid-size trucks recently which means it's time to talk about which one is my favorite and which one is right for you! Both come in off-road models but one is certainly more tuned for on-road duty than the other. Is that good or bad? That depends on where you're standing...

Alex your voice sounds just fine. Thank you for working even while sick.
Thx for the review while under the weather. I also had bronchitis about a month ago so I know how that can be. Great review as usual!
The button you referred to as "hill descent control" in both vehicles is called "Trail Control" in the Ranger, and is basically a form of low speed cruise control for travelling off road, where you can set any speed up to around 20 mph, and it will maintain that speed without you touching the brakes. I believe the Jeep has a similar system.
That's the comparison I've been waiting for!
Seems to me the Gladiator is rich in unique design features that make it more of a "lifestyle vehicle" and off-road prowess, while the Ranger is a rather conventional vehicle with more of an on-road focus. If it weren't for my many complaints with the Ford ownership experience (Ford credit, dealer service and warranties, and overall reliability), the Ranger would be my pick. I like how it's more of an "Escape pickup", because I always enjoy driving Escapes as SUVs go.
The FX4 shocks definitely feel floaty.. equipped with a spacer level it firms it up, eliminates some of that body roll. My Ranger XLT FX4 came equipped with the Ford Performance “tuned” Fox 2.0 coil over level kit, riding on 18” wheels w/Nitto AT 33’s and it drives/handles great...
European Rangers are rated to carry a metric ton and a bit. So the rear springs are stiffer. They are also rated to tow 3.5 tons [2200lbs to the ton]. The exception is the coil sprung Raptor which can carry half a ton and tow two.
No petrol engines here. Even the Raptor has a 2 litre twin turbo diesel.
I'm a Jeep Wrangler guy but when it was time to 'upgrade' I did a butt-ton of research and number crunching. Then I test drove 'similarly' configured trucks: Tacoma TRD, Gladiator Rubi and Ranger FX4. I didn't come close to fitting comfortably in the Taco which was sad because that's what I wanted. Having owned 3 Jeeps and 4 Ford Trucks in the past...I ended up giving the edge to the Ranger just for reliability. Stop laughing! I had great luck with Ford Pickups. :-D However my Wranglers had non-stop quality control issues. The Gladiator only wins off-road (and surprisingly not by much) and on 'cool-factor'. The Ranger is boring straight off the lot but it won't stay that way. Ultimately the Gladiator and Ranger were close to neck-and-neck but the REAL pricetags (MSRP numbers are a joke, please stop quoting them). Similarly outfitted, the Ranger was 20k cheaper than the Gladiator. $39k vrs $61k. Also, you mentioned no front locker available for the Ford Ranger...LOL. Uh, it doesn't have a solid front axle like the Gladiator, so yeah, traction control handles that for you. ;-) Other than that, very detailed video. I know it takes a lot of time to put these together so Kudos To You! Good job.
Man both these look like full size trucks. Kinda funny that you can get a 1/2 ton in a version that is smaller in many dimensions versus these offerings.
Smaller trucks won't be seen again until government regulations change.
You said borrowed from the ranger when talking about the Jeep. I assume you meant Wrangler...
Alex, I have driven both trucks and the Gladiator is really nice. I was very impressed with the Ranger ( Minus two things rear seat not being 60/40 and no heated steering wheel). Gladiator wins!
Interestingly, the same people saying the Gladiator is too expensive see no issue with an $85-90k Ford Raptor. Oh and Jeep will sell every Gladiator it builds with ease, and let's not forget about the insane resale values.
The Ford Ranger will give you a more comfortable interior and a better on street driving experience than the Jeep. Jeep is rather cramped and spartan inside, and tends to wander a lot on the road. Of course if you are a Jeep person, then none of that will matter to you.
Try taking the top off of the Ranger ;-)
The Jeep is spartan and cramped? You clearly did not watch this review.
@@hellkitty1014 I have test driven it, I don't need this review to make my judgement.
Alex, hope you enjoyed the gorgeous scenery plus the good weather bonus on the Olympic Peninsula. Somewhat different from the Santa Cruz mountains (especially in terms of climate) but just as gorgeous imo.
One benefit of the Ranger is that it has side airbags for the backseat passengers.
What is that toilet bowl float thingy on the wall?
Save the manuals
Are you ever not sick? I feel bad for you, man.
I recorded a TON of videos when I was sick LOL. I think a total of 26, so you'll hear my croaking for a long time. Yikes! Thankfully things are finally back to normal after a course of antibiotics :)
If forced, between the two I'd have the Ranger. The Gladiator is just too disfigured and hideous for me to even consider (not to mention the stupid high price and FCA's "reliability"). I don't like the Ranger, but it's by far the better choice here.
@1:45 I think you meant Wrangler

I definitely don't remember that hood, or those fenders, or that grille, or those headlights, or that tailgate, or those taillights, or that engine, or that transmission, or those axles, or that frame on the 2012 Ranger. 🤔
Ranger be the choice on resale alone. then you get all the flexibility re moveable panels for fun. That Ranger been out in Asia since 2012. I bought my Chevy ZR2 nice discount for $37k so shop around
Oddly enough the Gladiator's resale value predictions are insanely good. The actuaries are claiming over 90% resale value, which would beat the Wrangler which is one of the best resale values in the industry.
The Gladiator would definitely be a better choice. Just look at how expensive used 2 and 4 door jeeps are.
I always wondered how Toyota basically abandoned this market and did not bring up the FJ Cruiser to 4 real doors and Jeep like removable panels etc. huge market left behind
I can buy a Jeep with a heated steering wheel?????
Alex I think it's better when you do that driving review of you actually talking INSIDE the vehicle.. rather than over-dubbing it later.. Just a suggestion. Also at the end I think it's better when you do a final summary while standing near the vehicles rather than at your desk. Just my opinion as I'm sure others have theirs.
Alex when the bumber part is metal ... how can these cars fair in pedestrian safety?
Not the biggest concern for American shoppers it seems....
Plastic bumpers covers have metal reinforcement bars behind them so they don’t change pedestrian safety. Oddly larger flatter fronts are better for pedestrians than small sharp front ends, as they can distribute the energy over a wider surface. Which is why many European cars now have gotten rid of low tapered front ends.
@@kc5077 i get it thanks for the reply but say in a generic sedan or crossover the inside the bumber is some hollow space filled with insulation material or foam .... i have seen pedestrian safety are seriously considered b the govt
Pedestrian safety is teaching your children to look both ways before using a crosswalk. We need to stop outlawing darwinism or we are doomed to evalve into mindless piles of goo
@@Ulfstigandr numbnut its a safety standard mandated by various govt org.. for reducing the risk of serious injuries during such a collision .... as per you all NCAPS and IIHS are fools to conduct these tests ...
I can't agree that they are competing in the similar segment. Jeep is more like one of a kind outdoor activity vehicle with pick up truck capability
The Gladiator is a bit ungainly looking in my opinion. I sense a lot of cost cutting involved with the decision to not make a proper greenhouse behind the B-pillar.
The 2 door Gladiator 'Concept' looks much better.
The Gladiator is horrendously disfigured looking in my opinion. I sense a lot of cost cutting involved with the decision to not make me physically ill when I look behind the B-pillar. FIFY.
With an F-150 with the 2.7 and 4WD street price around $40K, it is not easy to justify the Ranger.
Having a 4 cylinder in a full size truck sounds bad
"Having a 4 cylinder in a full size truck sounds bad" -- 4 cylinder?
@@gradywilkerson123 I think you're confusing the 2.3L EcoSport engine with the 2.7L version. The latter is a V6.
The Silverado is the only Full Sized Truck that comes with a 4 cylinder engine
Has your bronchitis re-occurred since your last auto show? Alex if you are coughing up blood since then (part of bronchitis) I suggest your primary physician look into this a bit more closely. Your "viral-like presentation" could be a red herring
Bronchitis? Ain't nobody got time for that
Simple. Offroading: Gladiator Normal everyday driving: Ranger
You should versus these against a Corolla while you’re at it.
I’ll buy a gladiator only with a v8
Nothing on that Jeep is borrowed from the Ranger. Jeep did it first!
This isn't the best comparison. A Rubicon Gladiator should be compared to a ZR2 Colorado. Even those two aren't really comparable but the Ranger isn't even close.
In my opinion, the gladiator looks kinda stupid. It’s just too square for a truck. The Ranger looks so much better
"Just too square for a truck."
Almost all trucks are square...
🍏 to 🍊 I think 🤔. One is a truck and the other is a Jeep.
Jeeps transmission probably failed halfway through this video
That's not fair at all..how dare you say anything against FCA's legendary um..."reliability". .my brother's Grand Cherokee with the same powertrain made it to 17K before the trans kicked the bucket.
They both cost too much and that jeep is ugly
That Jeep really is goofy looking from the side. Can't believe how heavy and expensive the Jeep is as well. I'd take the Ranger
No thanks to both.
Ford Ranger looks so dated IMO
Miguel...Totally right! It looks very "old Ford" to me too.
Than the Jeep must be prehistoric.
@@wesleyhyun Really? You don't find the Jeep interior to be quite modern?
@@johnholst The OP was being general, not specific like the interior. In general, the Ford Ranger isn't going to be as dated as a Jeep when its exterior looks like its 1940s brethren. Not that being dated is a bad thing, that is what Jeep owners like obviously.
@@wesleyhyun Ah, exterior. Yes, now I know what you mean.
The Ranger went from a cheap truck to a luxury vehicle. Screw u ford, hope you go
Bankrupt
clearly the ranger smoked the pricey gladiator in 0 to 60
Haven't seen a Ranger on the road yet. What a boring bland truck. IMO.
The Ford Is just too bland looking inside and out. We're the designers smoking weed?
Man, you speak to fast. It's not a competition
just get a used truck
Alex please stop smoking, your voice has been broken for a few months now :(
That Ranger is blah!
Fiat/Chrysler? Ford all day.
Neither.. Jeep has 1 star crash rating.. Ford is junk.. Toyota Resell Value says it all.. RAV4 hybrid.. 40 + MPG
The Gladiator is ugly and way to expensive, top of the line at $60,000, ridiculous!
