Comparison Review

Comfort
The Jeep Gladiator will be a favorite with tall drivers and their passengers, since it has much greater head- and legroom than the Toyota Tacoma.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Jeep Gladiator as you will with the Toyota Tacoma, as they can travel a similar number of miles on a tank of gas.

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 Jeep Gladiator is somewhat more expensive than the Toyota Tacoma.

Dimensions
Since the Jeep Gladiator is much slimmer than the Toyota Tacoma, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Jeep Gladiator, which is slightly longer than the Toyota Tacoma.

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

Performance
With the Toyota Tacoma, you'll be able to pull heavier loads than the Jeep Gladiator due to its slightly better towing capacity. In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Jeep Gladiator and the Toyota Tacoma.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Jeep Gladiator doesn't do as good a job transmitting horsepower to its wheels as the Toyota Tacoma.

Utility
You'll be able to bring along a larger crew with the Jeep Gladiator than the Toyota Tacoma, due to its significantly greater seating capacity.
