Put me in the camp of the Gladiator being near the bottom of my "I want one of these" list. What's the definition of a "Jack of all trades?" The Wrangler is pretty much the opposite of that. Not really good at anything you'd ever ask it to do. Clunky on-road, not quiet, not efficient, not spacious, not luxurious and lacking in utility as a truck.

Awesome.

edit: Then I ran across the Edmunds "True cost to own" list (this one from 2012) on another forum. It's like a listing of the cars I'd least like to own and drive.
