Both the Jeep Gladiator and the Ford Ranger will deliver a reliable and enjoyable performance for your many trips through Mount Pocono, Tobyhanna, and Scranton.
While the capable trucks see a lot of overlapping features, each also displays one-of-a-kind abilities. So, that begs the question-which truck is the right choice when it comes to the 2020 Jeep Gladiator vs. the 2020 Ford Ranger?
At Ray Price Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR), we want to help each person around Stroudsburg and East Stroudsburg land the proper model. So, the following is a breakdown of key traits found in the 2020 Gladiator and Ranger!
Powertrain Performance & Efficiency
With models as athletic as the 2020 Jeep Gladiator and Ford Ranger, you benefit from a sturdy and powerful motor under the hood. Each truck comes with single powertrain and when you compare the two options, Jeep has a slight edge.
By using a 3.6L Pentastar® V6 engine under the hood, the 2020 Jeep Gladiator can generate 285 horsepower. To enhance efficiency, the Gladiator also has an Engine Start/Stop system in place. With this advanced technology, your engine will shut off when your truck is idle, such as when you're at a stoplight, and will quickly jump back to life as soon as you release the brake pedal!
The Ford Ranger also provides an Auto Start/Stop system to ramp up its overall fuel economy. However, with a 2.3L 4-cylinder motor under the hood, your peak horsepower reaches just 270.
Available Towing Capacity
Towing is likely going to come into play at some point in your weekday or weekend life. You may need to lend a hand around the house or hitch your boat to the truck for a long weekend trip. Either way, the 2020 Jeep Gladiator is going to perform better than the 2020 Ford Ranger.
For the Gladiator, you can expect a maximum towing capacity of 7,650 pounds. While close, the Ford Ranger can't quite keep up, offering a maximum towing capacity of just 7,500 pounds!
Trim-Level Discrepancy
Having the chance to customize your truck is always welcomed. Trim levels are the easiest way to do this, and the 2020 Jeep Gladiator gives you a wealth of options compared to the 2020 Ford Ranger.
There are seven variations of the Jeep Gladiator in total. The base trim is the Sport, and the following three options are the Sport S, Altitude, and Overland. As you close in on the top of the trim level list, you'll find the Rubicon, Mojave, and North Edition-all of which thrive when exploring rugged, unconquered terrain.
With Ford, you're limited to the XL, XLT, and Lariat trims for the 2020 Ranger.
2020 Jeep Gladiator Bests Ford Ranger
When it comes down to the powertrain and available trim levels, the 2020 Jeep Gladiator outshines the Ford Ranger.
Overall, the Gladiator is a more desirable choice when travelling through Mount Pocono, Scranton, Stroudsburg, East Stroudsburg, and Tobyhanna.
