That camera washing mechanism needs to go on every vehicle with a backup camera. lol

I love jeeps but the Gladiator that I saw at the dealership last week had a sticker of 81k and change. Thats nuts. For the difference in price I would get the Bison, add a 5 inch lift and 37 inch tires and probably still be less than the jeep. I still wish jeep would bring back the scrambler.

The fact that the small truck segment price range is between $50k to $60k+ ,Utterly insane!

I've owned jeeps forever, but I've got to tell you my ZR2 is FANFUCKINGTASTIC! It keeps up with Rubicons on the trails PLUS It hauls all my camping gear and fishing gear plus plenty of firewood. However the ZR2 really out shines the Jeep ON road. If you have to use your rig as a daily driver too the ZR2 is lightyears ahead.

Coming down the hill on 13:49 as well! You guys are amazing thank you for stopping and talking to me! 😍😍

Jeep community: they should put a 4BT Cummins! Jeep:Nah Chevy community: *says nothing* Chevy: let’s put the duramax.

It’s been a while eversince I saw Nathan and Roman doing a review together. It’s always entertaining and informative watching these two reviewing a car. Keep up the good work guys 👍👍👍👍

This is why i watch this channel. Love the off-road reviews!

If you guys didn't get the hint at the end, They chose Chevy but did not directly say it. They are filming in MOAB and participating in the Easter Jeep Safari in MOAB so... TFL cannot simply and directly say that the Chevy Bison is the better buy here. (Hint = Roman changing his Jeep shirt to a Chevy shirt at the end)

One Bison, to go please.

I've been with you guys since the beginning and it was great to FINALLY get to review products like these. Competition is great! My family absolutely loves our Zr2!

Great video. Both amazing trucks that performed equally well.

TFL >>> you have no idea how invaluable your vehicle reviews are to me and the rest of the public; we are very grateful for all of the time and effort that you all at TFL do to bring this footage to us, thank you, thank you, thank you! Obviously, the ideal situation for when one is considering the purchase of a new vehicle is to be able to view and test drive the vehicle in person. However, even with a test drive there are a lot of things that one will be unable to learn; here's where you guys come in ... thanks to your testing of vehicles in their respective elements we get to learn a great deal more than we ever could with any ordinary test drive. By viewing a certain vehicle in different videos that you have prepared one is able to get a very good idea about the pluses and minuses of a vehicle. Allow me to elaborate ... me myself upon viewing the Jeep Gladiator at a car show I was quite impressed. But I am obviously at a disadvantage with the manufacturer who makes sure that their vehicle is positioned "just so" and the lighting is perfect and the stance, etc. an attendee at such an event has no chance ;-) Then the more I got to see this vehicle reviewed, the more I could see unappealing aspects of it. In the case of other vehicles it was the opposite, I ended up developing an appreciation for something that I had initially thought was not so good, or that I had no particular interest in. So ... believe me, what you guys at TFL do is very, very invaluable and we are very very grateful to all of your efforts and presentations; because no matter whether we agree with your comments and reviews or not, we are learning a great deal thanks to you. So once again, I thank you TFL team for all of your time and effort that you put into bringing us this wonderful material, you guys are awesome! ;-)

Every truck will have advantages/disadvantages. We all knew what was going to happen with the lines taken when testing the departure etc. Both are nice rigs, just drive em’ knowing their limitations and that’s when they will both truly shine in different scenarios. It’s like comparing a short wheel base jeep to a long wheel base - we all know the deal. Great to see the protection doing its job. Nice video - cheers 🍻👍

I love both these trucks... I do own a ZR2. I don’t think you can go wrong with either..

When speaking off road, you can’t just focus on engine output with regards to torque. Transmission gear ratios, transfer case reduction and axle ratio all play a part in determining torque at wheel. The Jeep has a 4:1 t-case vs. 2.72 for the Chevy.

You guys always forget about the Rubicon having a 4:1 low range, that makes a big difference when crawling. Great episode though!

Prices are absolutely insane on most new vehicles. You guys didn't give any opinions or winner?

Gah, I can’t wait to be back in a 4x4!!! Thanks everyone for the videos! It lets me live vicariously.

Great video thanks so much for putting this together.

If the price would be similar one would have to think before choosing. Much better value in the ZR2.

If your going to leave it stock, ZR2 (non bison) is the best choice. If you want big lifts you know Jeep will be the path.

79 series LC dual Cab Ute (v8 turbo diesel). That's THE ULTIMATE truck. Let's not even begin with anything else.

Enjoyed this review, nice rigs.

I thought the bison was already spendy af for a mid sized, FCA, "hold my beer!"

At $63,000 for the Launch edition, I would rather get a Power Wagon. ‘Cause Power Wagon doesn’t care!

I really like what you guys do.. and you got so much content.. good job guys.

I just bought a new ZR2! First brand new vehicle. Have a 96 Tacoma short box regular cab. Also have a 2010 Tundra also short box regular cab. Haven't had a GM since my 96 GMC Silverado. I do a lot of off roading (no mudding or bashing) and more often than not I pull my little offroad trailer. My wife and I camp almost every weekend in the Canadian Rockies and we get a lot of use out of our trucks and have become somewhat Toyota loyal. Needless to say I was actually a bit apprehensive looking at a Chev but I read a ton of reviews I test drove the ZR2 and was really impressed. I got a white one with the bed bar and lights and of course it had to have the same engine I test drove, the little turbo dmax. I get my truck on Tuesday. So excited! 😀😀😀

Henderson NV To Santa Clarita CA 500 Mile round trip at the speed limit 26.0 MPG 2018 ZR2 2.8 Diesel.

In the U.K. you can buy the JL with a 2.2 Diesel with 197bhp and 332lb/ft of torque.

We pick up our white Bison Friday. So excited

For once I'd like to see a test on these types of trucks in the east in the forests and the mud instead of sand and rock.

I love my ZR2. I'm glad I didn't wait for the Gladiator. I think it looks cool, but a little funny. Also, 63,000 is way too much. I got a midnight edition with the sports bar and lights for 42K. No way I'm spending that much on a truck that can't compare to a Raptor.

Remember Roman gears multiply torque. Horsepower is the rate work is done. torque is NOT always what you need when 4x4ing. Thats why you have a two speed transfer case. Try some soft dune sand in 4 low vs 4 hi to see the major difference.

Great comprehensive tests.....considering your time limitation with the trucks...thanks!!!

We need the J6; standard cab, 6’ bed, solid axles, manual trans, crank windows, soft top, 37”s!!!!

New imperial weight unit...the Tommy, which is roughly equivalent to "a buck 20" or (1/2 x AEV skid plates)

The ZR2 is the lesser known BETTER truck for overall duties. I've towed cars, trailers, gone WAY off road and it never missed a beat. 24MPG later, it's still ticking along.

Both of them are AWESOME!! I'm just glad that the BIG 3 ( only 2 of them in this video) are still making bad ass trucks for us to choose from. My money would go to the Jeep though. So many aftermarket mods available to make it awesome. Would be nice to see Jeep offer a factory 2 to 3 inch lifted version to get a better break-over angle.

Move that exhaust out I'd the way and put the spare in the bed then change the front bumper to the standard zr2 bumper and it'll clear tons more.

Both trucks are fantastic. They both have their ups and downs, but overall good products.

looks like fun! Especially when it's not your truck!

This is it the on we have been waiting for!

TFL truck tester, BEST JOB EVER!!!

Did he say he gives equal love to all brands. That's a funny guy.😅😅😅😅😅

Honestly I would buy the ZR2 Diesel and do the mods yourself. AEV was restricted in what they were allowed to do for crash testing. Save alot of money. I just wish you could put 35s on it without a lot of trimming.

Perfect timing! This is my exact decision. (Leaning non-Bison ZR2 Diesel.)

Thanks for the great video. You mentioned the these vehicles could tow more if equiped right. Could please make a video about that, because those numbers absolutely sway people when deciding on a vehicle.

This would also be a good comparison on the tires, Falkens Wildpeak AT3/W vs Goodyear Duratrac.

As a Toyota Owner... i can say.... Yota has to step up their Off road game...

Aloha and Good evening Nathan and Roman. Both of you did a terrific job in doing the comparison and testing of these two trucks on their performances and capabilities. The features are impressive from these two trucks as pricing and preferences does matter when deciding on the type of truck that you want to purchase. Great 📼 video Roman and Nathan.🤜🤛💫💥🌟🔅📼🍊🐫💡👌💪🐕🐶👀🧐👐🙌👏🤙✌🤚👉🏼🤚👉🏼👈🏿

They are both awesome!

Bison, all the way

Finally an exciting video TFL!!

I love how @ 4:12 you can see how someone has bent the hell out of the chain eyelets on the “Off Road” version of the Gladiator.

I can't wait to see more of the new 2023 zr2. That thing looks great it could use a few more ponys under the hood but I'm sure the aftermarket will take care of that

I don't feel the launch edition really reflects how much the average model would cost.

Everyone will complain that this is a diesel vs. gas. But what about the fact that the Bison is sold out. Meaning if you didn’t already buy one, you won’t be.

Thank you.

Holy frame flex on the Bison on that downhill, he hit that hitch hard.

i like the way how the bison looks

Chevy wins, love the Zr2 and the Diesel. Could live without the Bison package. For the ridiculous price of that Jeep you could get a 2500HD Duramax.

most people that go crawling usually pick a line that doesnt go straight down something that they might get caught up on.. if you use the articulation the vehicle has then you can go with minimal scrapes and dragging

The ZR2 is so much better… it gives options: if you want protection at the cost of approach then get just the ZR2 bison. Or vice versa) (in this video they NEEDED the regular ZR2 for these conditions)!! 9:11

1:15 ..."at the end of this video we're going to tell you which one we'd buy if it were our money" Did I miss something? Never saw/heard what you would choose.

You never gave us a verdict as to which one you would "spend your own money" on...!

Thanks for the Bison v Gladiator match up. Interesting to see the departure angle. Larger tire are almost a most for more clearance. For running larger tires is the diesel's torquey engine the better choice for Gladiator with the 2-inch lift and 37-inch tires? The 3.6-liter Pentastar looked like it was running out of gas during the Gladiator vs Wrangler Moab video.

My current 4wd is a Nissan Frontier Pro-4x. It's a capable truck but I can't justify using it to it's full offroad potential. I take the safe line or turn back if things get too rough going. That brings me to my point. I'm too stressed out piloting a $30k rig through serious obstacles. I was a lot happier wheeling my old, beat up

Price on both these are ridiculous especially the jeep when you can get a Power Wagon or Raptor for less or a Rebel for way less that's crazy.

I love my Chevy but, that exhaust is just BEGGING for a hacksaw! WHY!?

Boron!!! Lol that’s where I grew up! Good old Boron California.

The Jeep may have less torque on paper, however, it does come with higher torque multiplication in form of a super low range transfer case (84:1 crawl ratio).

It pains me to say, but I think the ZR2 Bison wins that competition!! Very capable, but the price difference is the real winner!! Especially that it even has the diesel for that pricing!! Toss the 3.6L V6...and save even more. Wow!!

Good video. The new Gladiator is awesome! Cameras and removable roof are nice to have but the ZR2 is the best bang for the buck off roader on the market right now.

My son has a 2018 ZR2 that he bought used for 34k. Great truck. I like it as well as my 6 inch lifted Silverado. Only problem for me is I need the extra towing capacity of the full size truck plus I really love the rumble of the big V8 with my borla exhaust.

One of my favorite episodes, great video guys! where is Andre?

"I can squirt my camera!"

Man, 63k for the Jeep. I really kind of want one but I'll have to wait 20 years when it's like 2k lol.

Looks like they both matched up about the same for the jeep being so long I'm impressed

I appreciate all the innuendos lol

Nathan, in all that discussion about torque... were you guys running in 4lo? Doesn't the Jeep have a 4:1 while the Bison is 2.72 or something?

The zr2 is the better truck on the road, which is where i spend most of my time . So for that reason and cost I would go with it . Fwiw , I currently own a 2dr wrangler jk and I love it

You guys sure are some fan boys. Until I see either of these being used to cut across Australia/ Africa maybe then I’ll consider any of these

I would really like to see a face off with the Jeep Gladiator VS the Alkane Dominator. That would be an amazing video.

I'll keep my original 2019 zr2. I love it...!!!

Oh shoot you got the Duramax.. Best video ever.

Both trucks look fantastic

I own a Wrangler JL along with another primary daily driver vehicle, a Ford Expedition. I would not recommenced a Jeep JL/Gladiator if its going to be your only vehicle or daily driver. The upright windshield and solid front axle make for a harsh ride on roads above 55mph. The Jeep is a specific purpose vehicle. The Chevy is a more versatile vehicle and a better bang for the buck.

That Bison is a pretty cool truck but for me the Gladiator takes the cake. I mean there is something great about popping off the top and the doors on a summer afternoon. The Jeep can do anything

The ZR-2 is the better truck by far. the Jeep is cool, but that front suspension is a deal breaker.

That ZR2 is bad ass

Dude this video was posted on my birthday!

Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison-Eagle Claw Demon- Slayer Shit-kicker will be the next model.

Tall tires also make approach and departure angles better or worse as well.

They are both beautiful trucks. I like them both.

Loved how Nathan kept shouting, "boron!" 😅

AEV release the video explaining the situations and limitations that Chevy put on them that limited approach angles and departure angles because of regulations.

For 40-60k, how about a better hood lift system. Use the money from the camera spritzer 🤣

"I can't see anything over this hood buldge" - Nathan. I pine for the low, easy to see over, hoods of 80's SUV's.

Love the falken wildpeaks!
