Like the posts says, this is largely about personal preference. But overall I think the video is pretty interesting. What do you think?

 

Wow! Just plain wow!

 

Very mild trails...nothing to show the drawbacks of the length or rear overhang.
So drive on these types of trails and your fine.

 

It did pretty good for a Soccer Mom Jeep. Real Jeeps only have two doord

 

It's like comparing a Jeep to a Civic on a smooth dirt road... if the terrain isn't challenging enough to stop one of the vehicles, you really can't call it much of a comparison. There's tons of stuff my little 2-door can sail right through that trips up the bigger 4-doors and would stop a Gladiator in its tracks.

Of course, there's also some stuff that it can do without breaking a sweat that I would never dream of attempting (steep climbs/descents, towing, hauling, carrying 3+ people, etc.).

Everything is a trade-off, and no vehicle can excel at everything. A Gladiator isn't going to make a good rock crawler, and a 2-door isn't going to be a great over-lander.

 

Ha ha! I do think they should have made a two-door Gladiator.

 

4 doors aren't the problem its back seats...doors are great for access, rear seat removed more storage room...don't need 2 more passengers.
