so first of all let's talk about height the takoma is 70 point six inches tall
and the gladiator is payload capacity on the Tacoma it's eleven hundred and
fifty-five pounds and on the gladiator good afternoon everybody and welcome
back to the channel hey today I thought it'd be kind of cool since we have the
gladiator on top of the Tacoma there to kind of take a look at the specs and the
dimensions and stuff because we can see them right over each other right
which one's bigger which one's longer the wheelbase the weights towing
capacity all that kind of stuff so we're gonna do a little comparison the jeep
gladiator versus the Toyota Tacoma weights and Dems now first of all I want
to show you guys that I have them lined up from the rear you guys can see
hopefully right there we're right about the same length
now I know it isn't perfect but it's pretty darn close and just my initial
observations and kind of why I came about this I was looking at the tire of
the Tacoma compared to where the tire of the gladiator is and you can see they're
pretty much lined up evenly right
Center there pretty much even there but if you go around over here to the front
you can see the gladiator is a little bit ahead
right there is the center of the Tacoma and up over there is the center of the
gladiator so I thought it'd be interesting just to see I have a list
right there of stuff so I kind of wanted to run over that a little bit and just
what are the different differences rather from a dimensions and a weight
point of view I guess so first of all let's talk about height the Tacoma is 70
point six inches tall and the gladiator is 75 inches tall so the gladiator
indeed is taller the width the Tacoma is 75 point 2 inches and the gladiator is
seventy three point eight so about what two point or three point six inches
taller I'm sorry wider three point six inches wider for
the gladiator the length now I knew this was true and you can tell that just by
looking at them back there right the length of the Tacoma is two hundred and
twelve point three inches and the length of the gladiator is two hundred and
eighteen inches so a bit longer in the body ATAR wheelbase the Tacoma is 127
point four and the gladiator is 137 point three so quite a bit longer as far
as the wheelbase goes bed lengths they're almost identical the bed length
on the Tacoma is sixty and a half inches on the gladiator is sixty point three
now the bed height and this has got to be off a little bit the show the bed
height is nineteen point one on the on the Tacoma and thirty three point nine
on the gladiator something's not right there I don't know the bed width 41
point five inches on the Tacoma and fifty six point eight inches on the body
ATAR so it's a bit wider as far as the the bed width goes the turning circle
you know that old turning radius when you're trying to turn around in a
parking lot or something the Toyota Tacoma is forty point six five feet
that's how much space you'll need to turn that puppy around
back there and the gladiator is 44.5 you would expect it to be longer or more
because indeed the gladiator is longer ground clearance these are pretty close
the takoma is nine point four inches right down there and of course these are
stock numbers and the gladiator is 0.6 inches higher or 10 inches total
differential ratio these can vary but all the takoma it's three point nine oh
nine and what I got on the gladiator up there is three point seven three I could
have gone with a four point one curb weight the weight of the Tacoma is four
thousand four hundred and forty five pounds and the gladiator comes in at
four thousand six hundred and fifty pounds so a bit heavier which would make
sense it's a little bit bigger truck payload capacity on the Tacoma it's
eleven hundred and fifty-five pounds and on the gladiator it's fifteen hundred
and ninety nine pounds so put a few more lbs in the back of the gladiator up
there towing capacity sixty four hundred pounds for the Tacoma down there and
seventy six hundred and fifty a little bit higher for the gladiator up there
now a couple extra miscellaneous things I guess fuel tank the Tacoma holds
twenty 1.1 gallons while the gladiator holds 22 gallons the wheels that come
stock on the TRD off road down there are sixteen edge and on the gladiator up
above and again this is the sport s trim are seventeen inches engine-wise
3.5 liters in the Tacoma and 3.6 liters in the gladiator up there 278 horsepower
on the Tacoma 285 horsepower on the gladiator with 260 pound feet of torque
in the Tacoma and 260 even I think I might have said that wrong 265 pounds
pound-feet of torque in the Tacoma and 260 pound feet of torque in the
gladiator so what does it all mean Wow the
gladiator is indeed as you can see let's see if I can get them both in the shot
there the gladiator is indeed a little bit longer it's a little bit wider it's
a little bit heavier and it has just a little bit more power I will say it is
pretty noticeable for only what 7 yeah about seven horsepower or more it feels
like there's a lot more than that in the gladiator up there I mean that thing is
just quick I don't know why I guess it's the way it's tuned
but the gladiator just feels a heck of a lot quicker to me than the takoma does
matter of fact if I had to guess I would probably say that the takoma weighs more
but it doesn't anyway I just thought I'd get on here do a quick rundown since I
have both trucks I noticed this difference when I put them on the lift
and I thought I'd get on here run down that for you guys because I thought it
was interesting anyway leave a comment down below let me know what you guys
think thanks for watching and don't forget if you're interested in the
gladiator up there I have a separate channel for that it is Rob motion and
I'll leave a link down below thanks for watching
