2020 Jeep Gladiator vs. 2020 Ford Ranger: Compare Trucks

Aaron Cole Managing Editor

Mid-size pickup buyers have big decisions to make.

The 2020 Ford Ranger and 2020 Jeep Gladiator are relatively new mid-size trucks available to buyers after a nearly decade of mid-size pickup delinquency from both Ford and Jeep-parent Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.

TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Ford Ranger mid-size pickup is a willing companion to weekend adventures. It’s our worst best friend.

The 2020 Jeep Gladiator pairs everything we love and hate about the Wrangler with a useful pickup bed.

TCC Likes

Right-sized footprint
Good turbo-4
Good 8.0-inch touchscreen

So much personality
Turbodiesel on the way
Still seriously capable

TCC Dislikes

Too expensive
Sub-par safety scores
Bounding ride

Expensive against rivals
Light on standard features
Rivals are more comfortable
