Every truck builder tells themselves the same lie: "I’m keeping this one forever." After years of deep river crossings, brutal weather, and taking our Jeep Gladiator places it had no business being, it’s time for a massive shift.
We’ve fully dialed in the Gladiator platform over dozens of videos, but to truly see what’s possible in the mid-size market right now, you have to stop playing it safe. Nobody is genuinely putting the new Ford Ranger Raptor through its paces—so we’re doing it ourselves.
In this video, we strip down the Gladiator, head to the dealership, unveil the new rig, and break down exactly why we made the switch, what we're giving up, and the aggressive build plans coming next. Is it a better platform? Let's find out.
