Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater head- and legroom, passengers in the extended cab will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Jeep Gladiator than in the Ford Ranger. The Jeep Gladiator offers just a little more head- and legroom than the Ford Ranger, making it a little roomier and more comfortable.

Convenience
The Jeep Gladiator requires less frequent visits to the gas station than the Ford Ranger, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Ford Ranger will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Jeep Gladiator.

Dimensions
Since the Ford Ranger is much wider than the Jeep Gladiator, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. The Ford Ranger is slightly shorter than the Jeep Gladiator, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Ford Ranger has a smaller turning radius than the Jeep Gladiator, allowing you to more easily get in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Ford Ranger has a little less horsepower than the Jeep Gladiator.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the Ford Ranger transmits a bit more power to the wheels than the Jeep Gladiator.

Utility
The Ford Ranger has less seating than the Jeep Gladiator, making the Jeep Gladiator the better choice if you often have passengers. You'll be able to haul more material in the Ford Ranger than the Jeep Gladiator, due to its significantly greater cargo capacity.
