The Jeep Gladiator Sport S comes out ahead in this comparison of base trims.

These elements combine to make it significantly more capable than the Tacoma SR - affording enhanced payload responses.
The Gladiator is also very practical. It has a respectable fuel economy rating of 10.4 L/100 km on the highway, and its Command Trac Shift-on-the-Fly system can move between 4x4 and 4x2 while the truck is in motion.Â
