davebucknutBought a jeep gladiator this week.

So far I love it, its a 5 foot bed truck, so short but it has all of the capabilities of removing the top and doors as a wrangler.

Plus it has a 3.0 eco diesel engine with an 8 speed transmission and gets 28 MPG highway and 22 in the city. It has 450 ft lbs of torque and 260 HP.

It is the quietest diesel that I've ever heard and I do not smell a bit of diesel fuel from the exhaust [Image: 6dcdf89e088c056b253036c250060450.jpg][Image: 93039f65b66a22842178abbaf7b65f64.jpg][Image: f1f69b411c1f1c3d80a140c8452114ee.jpg]

Get a good alarm system in that area.

Thatâ€s cool! Great choice! Since itâ€s a Gladiator, I think we should start calling you Maximus.

The new Gladiators are pretty nice and those new turbo diesel motors are pretty damn solid. It's plenty of "truck" for most people who rarely need one!

A few years ago I had an AEV JK converted Brute with a 5.7 Hemi in it...was one of the most fun cars I've ever owned. Took it all over the western US camping and riding trails...I wish I'd never sold it!

My car is a mitsubishi galant reliant edition and I've had it for 13 years, I thought it was a fast engine for a stock made car (and it is), but the torque this little diesel pushes out is damn impressive and I was shocked at how much faster it was than my car.

Here is the thing about that, my car calls for "premium fuel only", which I usually put premium in it and at half a tank ill put plus, then run it down to a ¼ of a tank and top it off with premium and then do it all over again. So I keep 90/91 octane in it all of the time.

Well the price of that isn't too that much cheaper than diesel, but with the diesel it gets 6 mpg more.
