Sadly, I say goodbye to my beautiful Ranger. Although a great truck, I tired to make it what it wasn't, as I increased the difficulty of the trails I wheeled. I could not pass up the last Diesel Gladiator I could find. Blasphemy? Yes. Bad choice? Probably, but it'll rock crawl better and the 15% off was like dangling a carrot in front of a starved rabbit. So to that, keep an eye out for my part out! I'll be selling my suspension, skid plates, rock sliders, bed rack, downpipe. ✌

the jeep will have so many more options for up grades and after market equipment. the rangers are capable off road but when it comes to upgrades for wheeling jeeps win hands down. I think you will enjoy the jeep! so.... how much for the sliders, snorkel and skid plates lol.

You're not a traitor at all. It's a lesson learned. Our hearts want one vehicle but our brains soon realize it can't do what it need it to, even though we added parts.
I learned that lesson years ago when my brother bought a used Unimog for $8k....and he totally embarrassed every member of the local Jeep club and Hummer club whos added on parts alone likely cost more than my brother paid for the Unimog.

They’re very cool indeed but parking it at Champlain Mall might be a challenge. ;)

The Unimog with it’s older fuel injection technology will be way more reliable than the 3.0L common rail fuel system in the Gladiator. Any more of these left at $8500 ? Asking for a friend.

Weird how the more advanced (and expensive) things get the less reliable they are...

When vehicle manufacturers are pushed to meet EPA standards longevity and reliability go out the door. And in walks higher maintenance.
