Basesquatch isn't a base.I dont think so. the bronco looks a ton better right outta the box. can you tell me a base/squatch doesn't look good with no aftermarket help?? I sure can't say that. sure the base model glads dont have the option for a sasquatch style package, still....
All that base Bronco needs is alloy wheels. Ford is leaving money on the table not offering it.Basesquatch isn't a base.
yeah it is. i can't help it there are no factory options for the base/low end glads. a base model with options is still a base model, no?? if i were comparing it to say a WT or a braptor, yeah, i'd agree you'd have a point.Basesquatch isn't a base.
I've had three Cherokee's and a Wrangler and I like Jeeps. I thought hard about getting a Gladiator before I had my Bronco. But when I found the manual transmission Gladiator I wanted and took it for a test drive, I was really disappointed. I realized I wouldn't want to drive it every day on or off the highway. A year or so later, when I hopped into my 7 speed manual transmission Bronco, I had the opposite reaction. I loved it. There is no comparison between the two.I rented a Gladiator this week for work. Figured it would be fun to drive and an opportunity to compare it to my Bronco after 3 months of ownership and 4,500 miles.
This isn't meant to trigger the Jeep folks, because the Jeep brand deserves a ton of credit for continuously offering the Wrangler and its variants as an interesting alternative to boring vehicles for decades.
With that said, I'm not joking when I say I would have returned this thing and grabbed a different vehicle if I had the time. The driving characteristics of a Gladiator vs. a Bronco are literally night and day, and being in the Gladiator gave me a whole new level of appreciation for the Bronco's road manners.
Gladiator steering at 75MPH is like giving vague suggestions as to what direction the truck should go. As a driver who represents the majority of buyers (someone who uses the vehicle as a daily driver and goes off road occasionally), I can confidently say I would have sold a Gladiator almost immediately. I'm glad they exist and think they look great, just surprised at the wildly unrefined on-road characteristics!
I agree I drove my brothers did not like the way it drove at all and the feeling of being so cramped in the driver seat was not a good feeling. My Bronco feels like you have so much more room when driving and it drives like a car like you said night and day.I rented a Gladiator this week for work.

that concerns me about the Gladiator since I'm 6-1 and about 250lb. when i checkd out the bronco it was awfully comfy in the drivers seat.
Not quite.
Because the Ranger doesn’t have the same 4-wheel-drive system the Bronco has, you can’t get it with a stick, and, well… It looks like a Ranger.
Let's not lose the thread of where this started:
"The base looks better when it has a mild lift and 35s"
Who invited Ford Explorer (and Tacoma?) design language to the Bronco party?
I would absolutely love this. It could essentially be a parts bin special since the truck is already built on the ranger platform. with the upcoming Ranger Raptor, this is a no-brainer!
Cause some of us just have to take the top and doors off. It's sort of why I bought an otherwise impractical vehicle. I don't think the updates Ranger includes these features and we soft top folks have a massive practically permanent bar preventing us from actually fitting any substantial items in the back.
