  As the owner of a 2021 Tacoma and a 2021 Gladiator I&apos;m uniquely qualified to speak on these trucks. 2 years of ownership, building them for 39s and lots of hard use has made it very obvious which truck is better build... it&apos;s the one with the best parts.<br>As much as I wanted this Tacoma to be better than the Gladiator, it just isn&apos;t. There are still so many more ways that the Gladiator is superior to the Tacoma, I didn&apos;t even bring up that the Taco comes with leaf springs 🤦‍♂️ but I decided while shooting this video that enough was enough.<br>If you have hard data on reliability please post that in the comments so we all can finally find a reliable source of these statistics.<br>Until then, the reliability of one vs other is purely speculative. My Taco has had plenty of problems in the last 20k and the Gladiator has only had a cracked windshield but is that typical? This is anecdotal at best, so until we can find some real numbers, I don&apos;t want to pretend one is more reliable than the other.<br>I hope you enjoy the video! This will no doubt be controversial!

  This video should be watched by all prospective buyers with intent to use their truck for off-road. Very well done.

  Ive only owned toyotas for 20 years. Had nothing but excellent experiences with them. I still have 2. Just bought a wrangler rubicon x and I never &nbsp;knew what it meant to &nbsp;buy a car that makes you feel something until now. I love it. Might not be as reliable but it is a blast to drive.

  I came for the Disco 2 content. I know damn well you&apos;re not getting paid for that. This is the type of video that makes some of us more loyal. I won&apos;t be buying either these vehicles anytime soon, but I appreciate your willingness to put out an honest comparison at your expense, both in monetary terms as well as your reputation (among the haters Toyota/Jeep).

  I believe &nbsp;you&apos;ve been the only one to actually measure the interior of a truck, where it makes sense, and did it with confidence. No big dashes or little dashes!<br>That&apos;s what I like about your channel, you keep it simple, straight and with a fair amount of know how!<br>This one was a winner!

  I have owned two 3rd gen Tacoma’s. My current is a 2021 TRD off-road and I absolutely love it. <br>You’re not losing me as a subscriber. What you are saying is undeniable. I’m not doing super hardcore rock crawling and I have no desire to put 39s on my truck so it works great for me. If I did though, I would absolutely be looking at a jeep.<br>Great video, thanks Nate!

  As a 3rd gen Tacoma owner I agree with you. If I was a serious off-road guy I&apos;d have definitely went with the jeep. I live in southwest Louisiana so mostly flat roads driving to the hellaport for work, so looks and handling works for me! <br>That&apos;s the problem with people these days, they&apos;re not willing to let people have there own opinion anymore without hating them in the process. Love your channel, keep up the great work!

  Can’t stand the haters. It’s an off road community. We’re all here to lift up, help one another, and have the most fun on the trail. Proud Xterra owner and I have never wanted for another vehicle or made fun of another persons rig. P.s. You wanna talk about difficulty sourcing mods !!? 😂
