Have you seen the size of the new moon roofs in the ramz ?

They are better than the “top off” scenario imo.

Also you may not fit in a gladiator, I see some complaints rolling in from taller guys, you’d have to sit back but then you are at the roll bar... which means you have to move forward into the azn female Kamikaze driving position

Your boy Hoovie? I watched that video, and his normal :fullretard: applies.

I've sat in plenty of JL's and JT's and have zero issue with headroom. I don't know what his deal is.

Also, I'm dumb enough to take the doors off often. I love it.

I like to sit "close" to the steering wheel...always have. I guess that's why I don't notice it.

Ram Rebel will off-road just as well as a JT...which is to say "not well". It's something we enjoy doing, so the Wrangler makes the most sense. I also just don't like driving vehicles that big. Not my thing.

I'm still hoping that :tits: decides she wants a Ram. She claims to LOVE big trucks...a Rebel lease for her would be fantastic along with a JL for me.

Yea I have no idea why anyone would go rubi with this type of pricing disparity, I get the whole roof off bs but this is a better truck and a far more comfortable vehicle. Also V8!

The :scrooge: option. This thing has all the features I'd want...can't even equip a Sport JL with the same stuff for this price.

I believe it. My Silverado got great fuel economy...much better than my ZR2. It's all about aero.

That's perfection. Exactly how I'd build one...including White. I should just drive up there and buy this and be done with it all.

Right? I love the quad cab long box, much more trucky. And the back seat still has plenty of space.

Fuk.

It’s cheaper and better than the gladiator imo. Gladiator is :neat: but .... this is a truck

To get a Gladiator with this equipment...it's pushing $60k. This is a nearly fully loaded Gladiator. And this comes with a V8 and a far more usable bed.

Yea, the top doesn't come off...but for $30k savings...I could get a street legal side by side aka 2-door Wrangler with no options for that.

The Rebel won't touch those numbers. The EPA ratings don't take different trim levels into consideration so a Rebel is "rated" the same as a normal Ram with the same drivetrain even though it has different :tars: and suspension etc. I'd be kind of surprised if you hit 20mpg hwy in one.
