I think the Gladiator may have had a little too much “Ahnahld” appearance for the masses. I bought mine as a be all, do all. As impractical as it may seem, it could do everything. Its demise for me was the steering. I could nearly turn the wheel from 10 to 2 before the front wheels would respond. Blah blah it’s a Jeep thing blah blah. No. It was a legitimate safety issue with steering boxes, tie rods, linkage replaced multiple times over. Wife told me she wouldn’t drive it anymore and that was the end. I’m sure I could have gone aftermarket and figured something out, but that’s not fair. These things aren’t cheap; why do I need to spend more to bring it to base level?

I digress. It’s a soft spot for me as I’ve wanted a “Jeep Truck” as long as I can think. If the Bronco is what it looks to be, I may have a Ford in the future.
