I wanted a Colorado too. But I think I prefer the Gladiator.

The JL does everything I’ve ever needed in a utility vehicle.

But I never get to drive it. So instead of getting two JLs, I might try a Gladiator. Just for fun.

I'm just curious what you use it for that it excels at?

The pick up trucks Jeep used to sell make much more sense, but they didn't sell very many.

It was a 2 door, with a real world sized bed.

This 4 door spongebob square "truck" makes little sense, so it will probably sell

Hauling three dogs.

Hauling brush and wood. Lots of mulch and soil. Tons of plants.

When the rear seats are folded down not as much space as JK but it’s still cavernous.

Good God.

Safety is never even something I look at on any vehicle.

You’re talking to someone who commuted in Boston year round in a mid 80s Carrera.

This test relies heavily on automated systems, at first glance.

I’ll just keep my mouth shut about this.

It is comical.

I think that ship has sailed? :kekeke:

I don't know anything about the star ratings. Are they bogus?
