2020 Jeep Gladiator vs Ford Ranger
Midsize pickup trucks are in a unique segment that is focused as much on capability as they are on style. This can make choosing a midsize pickup truck difficult, especially when you're trying to go down a list of features you want without making a compromise. Today we're going to be looking at two trucks to help figure out which one you should be driving. The first is the new 2020 Jeep Gladiator, which perfectly combines Wrangler's abilities with all of your pickup truck needs. We're also looking at the 2020 Ford Ranger which is lacking in the engine department, although it offers three new paint colors, and dual-zone automatic climate control for the XLT and Lariat trims.

2020 Jeep Gladiator Power & Handling
You will be able to choose from two different engines with the 2020 Gladiator. This enables you to get the exact sort of power and capability you're looking for to start your next adventure. The standard transmission is a six-speed manual, although the eight-speed automatic transmission is available with the gasoline engine and standard with the diesel. Speaking of, the base engine is a 3.6-liter V6, which can produce 260 lb-ft of torque and up to 285 horsepower. The diesel engine, on the other hand, is a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6, which can create 442 lb-ft of torque and 260 horsepower. You will never be wanting for power with the Gladiator, especially with these two great options.
2020 Ford Ranger Power & Handling
Unlike the Gladiator, the 2020 Ford Ranger only comes with one available engine. This is a pretty disappointing feature, and may make you want to second guess buying this truck. The engine itself is a turbocharged 2.3-liter 4-cylinder, which can output 310 pound-feet of torque and 270 horsepower. Coming with this engine is a ten-speed automatic transmission, and either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. The lack of choices makes it obvious that you do not have the ability to customize the Ranger quite as much as you can with the Gladiator.
2020 Jeep Gladiator Features & Design
Gladiator also steps it up with a great trim lineup, filled with options that give you the best opportunity to really get a model that fits your personality. Standard features, all found with the Sport trim, include a five-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Bluetooth, air conditioning, and cruise control. Another option that we're looking at is Overland, which gets you Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, 18-inch wheels, dual-zone climate control, a 7-inch touchscreen, and automatic headlights. The final trim we're looking at is Rubicon, which gives you off-road-oriented features like rock rails, tow hooks, skid plates, and electronic sway bar disconnect.
2020 Ford Ranger Features & Design
In an attempt to keep up, the Ford Ranger also boasts its own trim level lineup. Standard features include a rearview camera, pre-collision assist, automatic emergency braking, power windows and door locks, and Sync 3 with FordPass Connect. Another option is the XLT trim, which includes cruise control, an 8-inch touchscreen, dual-zone automatic climate control, front and rear parking sensors, and Co-Pilot360. The final trim is Lariat, which adds heated side mirrors, leather seats, LED headlights and taillights, passenger heated seats, and Intelligent Access with push-button start.
