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 F-250. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Ford F-250 and the Jeep Gladiator.

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). The Ford F-250 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Jeep Gladiator, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Ford F-250 is much wider than the Jeep Gladiator, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Ford F-250, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Jeep Gladiator.

Handling
The Ford F-250 has a significantly larger turning radius than the Jeep Gladiator, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Ford F-250 is clearly the choice over the Jeep Gladiator for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Ford F-250 greatly outmuscles the Jeep Gladiator.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Ford F-250 does a much better job of transmitting the horsepower of the engine to the wheels than the Jeep Gladiator.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit the same number of people in the Ford F-250 as you will the Jeep Gladiator. You'll be able to haul more material in the Ford F-250 than the Jeep Gladiator, due to its significantly greater cargo capacity.
