- How does Jeep’s flagship Gladiator ute fare when it comes up against Ford’s top-spec, rally-bred Ranger Raptor? 👉 Full Review: www.carsales.com.au/editorial...
The good ol’ ute has come a long way since its humble beginnings as a workhorse - and so has its role, particularly in Australia where dual-cabs are increasingly used as family chariots and for weekend play.
The Jeep Gladiator Rubicon and Ford Ranger Raptor stand tall and proud as an excellent case in point - two $75,000-plus flagship utes with a very high specification and an incredible amount of hardware underneath.
In this video, we put these two top utes through their paces both on the road and off-road to determine which is the better bet.

I find it funny that the US finally has a diesel and Oz does not. I own a Gladiator Rubicon, I use it for overlanding. I have a roof top tent and a few other things. I love the truck, I traded my Ram Rebel for it. One of the best parts of the truck that nobody else has, you can take the doors and roof off, and I have. Only takes about 5-10 minutes for both. One thing I would recommend for the Gladiator, I would up size the tires to 315/70, this should give the little extra underside clearance you will need to keep from getting high centered.
Is the Jeep Gladator Rubicon coil sprung like you said, or was that a mistake?
The 3.0 V6 Diesel from the Cherokee is in the US model now
Both cars are just great. We have Raptor, we use it for some travels, filming, offroading and so on... Good car, never stopped and never failed.
Getting one hopefully in 8 months..
Love hearing that poeple are liking them.. especially reliability.
I still wonder why are these trucks are called "cars" despite having a bed
Wtf you say the Jeep can’t match the straight line performance of the Ranger??? Isn’t the Gladiator like 2.5 sec faster 0-60mph than the Ford? What gives.
The Gladiator Mojave would be a better comparison, if you can get it down there.
What watch are you using mate? Fenix 6x?
Looks like a pro With an optional watch face i suspect
I sure hope y’all get big discounts off sticker price. With either. With Jeep a legitimate concern is the high parts failure rate vs other automakers. Fiat.........
Raptor looking the goods
Australia you should see the new diesel available soon in the Jeep Gladiator over there in the near future. Its was recently introduced here in the states and completely changes the game for the better. Vastly improved fuel economy and torque. The Ranger is nice but we can only get a 4cyl turbo petrol engine here in America. No diesel in the Ranger for us.
I have done a lot of research and I'm very disappointed that neither eco-diesel nor V8 hemi (392) is coming to Australia/New Zealand, at least for the near future, and of course Ford Bronco ruled out ANZ as well. Really sad...
Why would Americans buy a ranger raptor when you can get the real raptor.
We will never see another diesel Jeep here in Aus….sad but true
@@farzana6676 real raptor's price isn't for the average folks
Raptor for me
Wish North America got the ranger raptor
this comment has predicted the future. I mean it will be in 2024 although the engine is similar to the Bronco Raptor so it isn't a 2L TT diesel
Jeep not let you tell us the fuel consumption?
I just put on 4 35 , it rans about 13L/100kms. On par with my Benz G63
Australian people: why would you buy a Hi-lux with those beautiful competitors around?
cz they are work horse and reliable, period.
@@TChowdhury00 n they have high value in the market..
Toyota's reputation beats everyone else is why.
because Jeeps won't last half as long as a hilux (tacoma), yet cost the same to buy, if not more.
I’m looking to upgrade my business ute but still have no choice to drive my VF ute. I’m sorry but dual cabs are not utes they are pretender utes can’t fit anything in the back.
So true I’ve got Vz , planning to buy one of these but the tray space is too short
I cant see the gladiator doing well in the Aus market.its barely a ute, its too big & too expensive for what you get.
The gladiator is tiny, you can’t even lay down in the bed.
the Gladiator is also down in sales in the US & Canada
Raptor all the way
Ford ranger raptor the way to go, anytime am securing one.
Jeep Gladiator👍👌
Jeep gladiator 😍
I've learnt my lesson, NO Jeep jokes.
Ford is a joke . Ranger raptor is a piece of junk. This car is only for dry weather nothing else. Have one its expensive joke from ford.
@@michakool7879 So burnt you are , calm down kid
In America. 3.0 liter diesel. 30 mpg. You do the math tonight. Having a jack and coke right now
Sweet
Ford Ranger Raptor weighs 2.510kgs, it is the Ranger Wildtrak that weighs 2.320kgs!
The brochure on the Ford site says 2342kg.
@@Parabloop3r your correct. I own a 2020 ranger raptor and the curb weight is 2332kgs without any mods
I just couldn't see money leaving my hand for a Jeep.
With that money better buy a Ram Laramie at least
@jim is not about which is heavy is about money.
Great Wall Cannon that’s what I want
20k lol
In Philippines Price :
Ranger Raptor - 2,000,000 Millions Pesos/ 43,000 US Dollars.
Jeep Gladiator - 4,790,000 Millions Pesos/ 102,000 US Dollars.
I’d go Ranger for that price
Forreal😏
that's because unlike the Ranger Raptor, the Gladiator is directly produced from the US (thankfully it doesn't need steering wheel conversion, so it's cheaper there than in Australia or New Zealand)
Rubicon economy... over several thousand kilometres we've averaged beep. Nice mute there
Ranger RAPTOR ruels
The Jeep Gladiator Mojave would be a better comparison to the Raptor.
I have had both, my jeep ecdesiel gladiator is the best one for sure. It puts the ranger to shame.
FFS......when will aussies change their views on Jeep reliability?! Jeep sits above a lot of brands in a reliability sense.
Ironic too given the poor reliability of the Rangers haha.
Wow, a Ford getting a better review than a Jeep 😳......? Things really are upside down in Australia lol 😂. I sure wish Ford would give us a diesel Ranger in the states. I'd buy one right now.
The 2.3L gas motor we got is more powerful
@@jeremyh4180 how economical is the gas motor vs the diesel? I've never understood why the US didn't latch on to diesels the way the world has.
@@jeremyh4180 I had both Rangers when I was still Asia and now living in the States. I prefer the gas one.
@@loganlexow -friends in the US (Colorado) with Ranger Lariat FX4 over various driving conditions average around 21.5 US Imperial MPG which converted to L per 100km is approx. 13.1L per 100km or 7.6km per 1 litre of RON 95 (AKI 91 e10) which is pretty much decent enough for petrol based engine in a vehicle that really is way to heavy at 2.2 metric tons.
Sure the diesel versions (2.2, 2.0 and 3.2) are better overall in terms of fuel economy but for the North American market 21.5MPG (US Imperial) is decent when you then factor in fuel price is approx $2.35 per gallon (US Imperial which is 3.6L metric) , a full tank is 22gallolns which is 80L so price is $51.5 per tank, which explains why diesel is not in favour in the North American market.
The diesel is an embarrassment,v8 petrol or nothing
Good review. Neither of them will come close to lasting 500,000km, let alone 700,000km.
Who cares, seriously, no one in their right mind would keep these past the warranty period
@@user-dn3yk2qu7f So that means everyone who buys a second hand car that is out of warranty are out of 'their right mind'? Give ya self an upper cut, champ.
@@nnoddy8161 you clearly have trouble reading champ, too many uppercuts maybe?
My cousin's 2012 ranger is now 400k kms
Sure there are wear and tear but nothing broke down
Just regular fluid changes and battery and brake pads. Though the seats need some repair. Could be cause its really hot here in the AU
@@doodskie999 that ranger is normal gearbox and a bigger engine, this has 2.0l and 10 bloody gears...
All you are paying a premium for...is an expensive sticker
Welcome to Australia maaaate
No money worth sticker .
no contest Rapter all the way
2.0L is rubbish.
Pray Ford drops the 2.7L twin turbo EcoBoost V6 in the next gen Raptor!
This 2.7 is not the best. Ford dont have good engine for RR at this moment.
@@michakool7879 That's a shame. I was hoping for a decent engine in the T7 Raptor.
2 ltr is brilliant
a better option is the 3.2 inline 5 diesel but they should make it into a Bi Turbo version making around 260-280hp
The 2.7 and 2.0 are rubish.
The 3.2 is superior
Ni siquiera se parecen. El ranger raptor esnpreparado para baja. Y si querían comparar con un gladiator tenía que ser contra un mohavet no contra un rubicon
They are Bakkie.
Rubicon all day. Like to see that raptor do the same stuff when it's got 6 digits on the odometer.
that's funny because Jeeps in Canada are notorious for becoming problematic just after 6 digits are hit. just from people i hang out with; buddy i hunt with has a 2017 wrangler rubicon, it's come back on a flatbed twice in the last year; sheared gears in the back, then the front... he wasn't even off-roading it, that was just highway cruising, it has around 110,000kms. Another friend has a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee overland, it's on transmission #2 with less than 130k on the odo, that one was replaced under extended warranty (he's really glad he got it). These aren't cheap models, both were around $60,000. my uncle is also a mechanic at a Jeep/Ram/Dodge/Chrysler dealer and because of his experiences, i'll thankfully never buy one of their products.
Raptor looks sick but that is it... under powered and weak payload
All new will have a 2.7 V6 325hp and 586nm torque
Youre not racing the raptor, 500nm of torque is capable enough.
@@nodcarillol.6550 no, Raptors should be for high-speed offroading
@@HSstudio.Ytchnnl offroading and racing are two different thing.
@@nodcarillol.6550 you have NO IDEA about off-roading in the sand which is called BAJA & it's HIGH-speed. off-roading ISN'T just rock-crawling & mudding, it can be high-speed especially in the SAND. you're dumbass 😂, Ranger Raptor & especially the Ranger Wildtrak is for high-speed offroading
not worth the price!
No backseat in this cars.. ?
How is this even a comparison? Ranger all day long! Hurry and come to the USA please. I want a ranger raptor so bad and want to see it destroy the midsize poster boy tacoma trd pro. There is no doubt in my mind that the raptor will absolutely run away with the midsize truck title.
Uhhhh yeah how's this a comparison? Gladiator all day! The raptor doesnt have live axles all round, twin lockers or decoupling front sway bars
Also the gladiator is way more moddable and it's a convertable
@@dallasmellsop5488 but the gladiator is ugly af. I don’t care what it may or may not have. It’s hideous.
@@Jerlemi2 I've seen more Ranger Raptors than Gladiators on Aussie roads so far.
@@AppleSlipper that's because Ranger Raptors are most likely produced there, unlike the US-produced Gladiator which requires steering wheel conversion once it arrives & it means Gladiators are really expensive
@@HSstudio.Ytchnnl The Ranger Raptor is built in Thailand for most global markets.
I chose Mitsubishi Triton anyway, cheaper and more payload than Raptor and Gladiator
If you're gonna go cheapo, you're better off with a great wall. The Tritons are insultingly ugly.
@@s1xone611 Great Wall is not bad, consider the price-performance, but Triton are much more off road capability than Great Wall, not to mention tons of upgrade parts available for Triton
700000 km is a dream for these new cars lucky to get 250000km
I want a turbo petrol car far superior, real power and torque. Raptors engine is a toy and the Toyota power output a joke.
yea putting 1 2.0l in that thing is a joke, bloody sedans make more power(kw) that that thing...
The price of Ranger raptor in Philippines cost $41,000 only and the gladiator cost $85,00!
Ranger raptor cost 95.000 USD, Gladiator cost 232.000 USD in Turkey. :)
@@fehrer1000 Very overprice btw I went to Istanbul turkey last year
@@fehrer1000 well if someone spent that much, they likely have so much money that it's a trivial matter
maybe it't because Aussies drive on the opposite side of the road. there is no need to convert the steering wheel
Lmao wtf a ranger raptor
They are second to NONE. Best vehicle I have ever owned.
Jeep is much better than ranger
Just don't crash the jeep, you will be seriously injured or dead. A death trap according to crash tests.
Raptor engine is an embarrassment to the raptor name.underpowered 2l diesel is a joke.minimum v6 ecoboost or v8 only
New one has v6 you question has been answered from ford 😂 but I do like my 2 litre raptor jumps very well
Just bought a jeep gladiator for it’s cheaper price tag verse the real raptor
Auto journalists are the worst kind of journalists lmao. What a potato this guy is
Jeep is an unsafe vehicle in crashes
What a laughable review...
Offroad capability the raptor doesn't even come close, and straight line performance...there is probably a 2 second plus difference in the jeeps favour...
Buy Raptor for daily ride and some loads. Get Hilux and Triton for real offroad
Ranger raptor is made too pass dry roads with 100 km/h and thats all. When is wet , mudy that can damage transmission first, next is engine a out 120th km and your 3 years old RR is just a piece of junk.
