Make way for the Jeep Gladiator! Marking Jeep’s official return to trucks, the JT is shaping up to be a new contender for well-loved vehicles like the Toyota Tacoma. We might be a little biased, but we prefer the Gladiator.
Dennis Wood evaluates the all-new Jeep Gladiator and the Toyota Tacoma on some trails to compare their off-road capability as well as their creature comforts. Although the Gladiator rides on a longer wheelbase, the overall bed size, length, and width are similar. Despite its additional weight, the Gladiator’s 8-speed automatic transmission makes it feel quicker. The Tacoma’s fixed roof is quieter than the Gladiator and its removable roof panels.
