I haven't been in all of the midsized trucks or anything, but the Taco is just damn underwhelming, I've thought this pretty much every time I've ever been in/driven one. Sure, it's "great value" but still just a pretty meh vehicle I wouldn't feel good paying $40K for. Sure, the Jeep products are pricey but at least they're cool, unique, and nice inside. I don't even like the JT looks-wise but the cool/wow factor can't be denied and that is worth something any time you're paying over $35K for a vehicle, IMO. You're not getting up there in price unless you care to some degree about liking your car.Detroit wrote: ↑Mon Jul 29, 2019 1:48 pmRising tides lifts all boats. Probably a lot of bros see the Gladiator and think it looks sees the pricing and heads over the Toyota dealer to scratch the new midsize truck itch. The Taco is a tremendous value compared to a Gladiator.max225 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 29, 2019 1:46 pm
Yea I am not seeing too many JTs out here, most seems to be with VLOGGERS online who already threw 37s and dana 60s on them...
However... real life I think the Taco makes way more sense given the price points... and I see a shit ton of TURD tacos out here... a lot with brand new paper plates.
I'm way more comfortable in a Colorado than a Tacoma, and that's also a much better value. Basically, I don't see why anyone would buy a loaded JT Rubicon...can't even really wheel it with the long wheelbase.
I am seeing JTs on the road daily now FWIW.
