I also have a white 22 Gladiator. I have to make a decision-do I trade it for a 22 Base Bronco ,SAS,Mic,2.7 ? If you could only keep 1- which would it be ?
I bought my Gladiator Sport in April , not knowing when the Bronco would be built.
It was built and will be at the dealer this week.

All depends on what you are doing with it.if you plan on towing definitely the gladiator. The 2.7 has more power and torque but the spring rates are not made for towing light off-road and high speed off-road the bronco highway bronco options bronco. Interior and stereo no question the Jeep cold weather with full frame doors is going to a be a lot more durable than the windows that come down part way to open the door . All in all most people should not compare a gladiator to a bronco they are not the same if you compare a gladiator to a ranger hands down I will take the gladiator five days a week 4 times on the weekend. Now if you compare a bronco to a wrangler I would be hard pressed to not get a wrangler 4xe rubicon except for the huge cost difference and highway manners

I live in N.C. and the plan is for this to be my traveling vehicle- I have always wanted to go to Moab Utah,Idaho,Colorado.
I really like the gladiator-Surprisingly- much more than I thought I would. If I keep it- I will do 37's and a lift. My sport- however doesn't have lockers or gears (has 3.73's )-Which the Bronco does.
Normally I would not compare the 2 but it's what I have to do. Although the high interest rates and drop in trade in value are Heavily swaying me to keep the Gladiator.
Are you on the Gladiator Forum ? - I would like to read your build on yours.
BTW- thank you for the reply. I really like the way yours is set up. Looks purposeful and rugged.

I understand I was going to keep my gladiator unless they have me stupid money for trade . Then they did they gave me msrp which was 8000 more than I paid for it so essentially I could not pass it up I would love to own both but that is not an option

Do you go offroad on rocks and extensive flex areas? are you getting any rub? how are your cv's holding up?

 

[Yeti-X]

I have not had the chance yet I only picked it up Oct 27th since then it has been hunting and fighting wisconsin winter and pulling my snowmobile trailer. I will for sure test it out this summer Black hills and Apple valley etc

 

[Yeti-X]

My gladiators made several trips in high flex areas I am excited to see how the Bronco deals with where the Jeep went.
