Yea for the most part. The Chesapeake does a good job of insulating us from most of the winter weather. Summers can get pretty muggy though, especially July/August. It hovers consistently between 85-100 with nearly 100% humidity or so it feels. Luckily we are only about 15-20 minutes from...
Looks good, I'm getting 275/60/20 this week as well to replace my OEM tires. I was able to squeak out 31k on the duelers so I can't really complain. I went w/ Goodyear Ultraterrain's I will give a full review once done this week.
I just placed an order for some 275/60/20 Goodyear Ultra Terrain. The reviews are excellent and they are reasonably priced. Should have them this week and I'll give a full review.
Welp, as promised I went and test drove the Gladiator Rubicon and the Ram Rebel this morning w/ my son. We drove the rebel first and it immediately felt very familiar coming from my Laramie Sport. It was a crew cab, Level 2, 12" uconnect. Not my color choice per se in Black but still nice. I do...
All excellent points, and I appreciate everyone's insight & feedback. There are a myriad of opinions out there and the answer is very individualized based on need, want, budget. I love my Ram, it's been great, truth be told I probably would have never thought about a Gladiator had I not been at...
I couldn't agree more. The more I read and lurked on the gladiator forum the more I learned & appreciated the over engineering that went into the development of the Gladiator. As far as utility is concerned, I think it will more than suit my needs in regards to payload/towing. My only true...
Very True, but I figure the TRX will be in Raptor territory in regards to costs, with base trims starting in the mid $60's and ranging out probably mid to high $70's and that's without dealer MSRP + markups.
I think for me in regards to the Grille, the whole truck looks so refined, so well put together, and then the plastic nostril on the rebel, IDK. Just looks very different then the rest of the truck. Like they were trying too hard to make it look the part of being their off-road variant.
WXman, I guess there in lies my point. I know it's not a 1/2 ton, but I think in most regards in could be a fair comparison. The Gladiators size or lack thereof yields nimbleness, on road & off. From Parking, to camping trails I think its honestly a perfect size, I just wish it was a "smidge"...
I like the Rebel, I really do and its proven its worth off-road prowess on this forum and well documented on youtube. The only real gripe I have is the Grille. I really love the front end of my Laramie Sport. Maybe it will grow on me, IDK. Good thing is if I go the Rebel route, it appears to be...
All very valid points and appreciated insight. Thanks for talking me off the proverbial cliff. Maybe keep the ram for a bit and if the right rebel comes along do something along those lines to have the best of both worlds.
@ 6'8, I doubt there are many vehicles that fit comfortably. :) I thought I was tall @ 6'1, lol. I sat in the Gladiator, the seats are comfortable, but the leg area and center console are def. tighter. I drive the vehicle myself to/from work during the week, and typically we use the wife's comfy...
So the Ram has been great. But I have been looking to upgrade for functional off road capabilities as my Laramie Sport is non ORP. Basically was looking to add the mopar lift, ORP springs, wheels/tires, etc. Roughly $5k total, but while there I saw the JT Rubicon and was like is that the smarter...
After 2 years with the Ram, and a few trips to the dealership trying to figure out if I wanted to go ahead and lift the ram, mopar, orp, wheels/tires a white Gladiator Rubicon caught my eye. It's fully loaded, Saddle leather, 8.4 uconnect, Led's, alpine, etc. Man is that thing nice. A smidge...
is that the same kit? will non rebel be the same? I recently order the Lamin-X film for a rebel because the lense looked very similar and figured for $20 why not try it out, unfortunately the film was about 1/2"-3/4" long on each side. :(
