Default Kicked the stripper to the curb...
After 5800 miles, the automatic transmission just never did sort itself out. While the V6 allegedly had 305 HP, the horses felt like they were out to pasture when called.

Now have this filling up the garage...

No experience with the Gladiator but our 2018 Grand Cherokee has been problem free so far.

I have honestly never seen a tougher truck than this one on the farm, snow plowing, hauling fire wood etc, etc

I rode in one at the DC auto show. Of course, it was the maxed out $70K model, but it was a serious rock crawler. I’d love to have one on the Rubicon

When I was a boy my dad was the foreman of a cattle ranch for years and all the ranch hands drove them. Work horses for sure!

Copy cat !
We do love our 2015 Jeep.
It's a lot of fun to drive the 5 speed and definitely has some torque with the 6cyl. We took the doors off a few days ago. Driving like that is a lot of fun too.
