Are not the Gladiator and the Colorado considered mid-sized trucks? And if they are, then what defines a mid-size truck because it certainly doesn't appear to be length.

NP, I just kind of remember when a mid-size was actually a mid-size in actual dimensions. The labeling is the same but a different reference is being used.

Yup, just like the 1/X ton classes that the entire industry is based on have meant nothing for over 50 years.

Consistent meaninglessness.

Just buy whatever truck gets your rocks off.

Well, mid-sized would indicate that there are trucks smaller too, which isn't the case anymore either.

Its no longer than a colorado? Does that also surprise you?

Its just a 1/4 ton with a Jeep body on it lol

He's kind of right about the Gladiator. It's the longest midsize truck when you look at 5 foot boxes. They are all roughly the same length with 5 foot beds and 4 doors except the Jeep which is about a half foot longer.

Where did you go?

Just one of the shared use roads in Mclean Creek.

I kept it pretty tame, I went in alone without recovery gear no spare and at road pressures. I was just driving by after spending the morning up in the mountains and thought I’d have some fun.

I was pretty impressed with how it did actually.

For the guys with the hardtops. How do you store them in the summer? I removed the hardtop and installed a soft top this weekend but that hardtop is taking a damn significant amount of room in the garage. Any ideas and suggestions on the best way to store it over the summer?

[ercchry]

Make a pulley system in the garage from the ceiling... then it’s a hell of a lot easier to put on and off too

This is definitely the best option. You can even get package sets that are powered with a motor.

But it might take you longer to order and get one installed than you own the Jeep. I mean. You have already had it a few weeks.

I’ve never taken mine off since I have nowhere to store it haha.

Haha. I am planning on keeping this or some kind of a Jeep at all times so I think some sort of better storage of hard top will be good.

I am getting a new house built so it's perfect timing to get something rigged in the garage by someone. I will look into the pulley system, surely there'll be videos etc on youtube. Thanks for the suggestions.
