"I was worried about engine and transmission issues, so I bought a Jeep."

I'm kiiiiiiiiiiidding. Hope it treats you right, Phil!
Lots of Jeeps out there with high miles. And some with not. Time will tell if it treats me right!

Hi Dennis,
The Gladiator has the freedom panels that can be removed in the summer for a convertible like open air experience. Plus, I like the endless availability of options. And the posts of late here about the transmission issues and the heat/AC vent failures, kind of have me a bit concerned. I like both vehicles, however I think the Gladiator will be fun making it my own!
My transmission is smooth as butter lately at 10.5k, for now at least!

BUT.....does it come with a DAMPER ?????
Actually Steve, if I remember correctly, the Gladiators come with an internal tailgate damper. When I get it, should I add another damper to help keep Dave profitable :giggle:

Well, I have decided that I am going to trade in the Ranger Tremor and get back into a Jeep Gladiator. I want to thank all of you for your kindness and helpful information that I have received from the forum. And a big thank you to our moderator Dave as he is one of the nicest guys I have ever dealt with!!! Flame suit on so go ahead and tell me I am nuts! Maybe I am :crazy:

New Gladiator I am getting.

And sorry to see you go. I fully agree that Dave's pretty awesome (don't let him see this, he needs to keep on his toes).

That's a nice looking Jeep and I think they did a great job with it as a pickup - I love utilitarian "can do" vehicles and it certainly fits the bill.

Make sure to stay in touch, even if it's just to post a pic of you parked next to a Ranger!

Have fun! =)

no not that type of Ranger, although ...

I really like the look of these with a cap on the bed. Otherwise they give me the feeling it’s the sort of truck I might be hauled off in and taken to a labor camp.

Thanks David. I may need to come around to get more ideas on dump runs with the new Gladiator! I know Rangers come standard with that feature, not sure if the Gladiators do as well...LOL!!!
