2020 Jeep Gladiator Mojave, Safe Vehicles for Teens
Host Tom Appel and co-host Jill Ciminillo (Damon Bell is out this week) start off the show by discussing Consumer Reports’ and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s list of safe and reliable vehicles for teenage drivers. We also share our test-drive experiences with the relaunched-for-2021 Toyota Venza midsize SUV, which now comes exclusively as a hybrid. Pete Milo, Chief Engineer of the Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator, joins us to talk about the 2020 Jeep Gladiator Mojave and Wrangler Rubicon 392 Concept. Tom has a quiz for Jill on the best-selling vehicles by state, and also runs down the latest articles on the Consumer Guide Daily Drive blog–including a “what-if?” gallery of alternate-universe 1957 Ford Ranchero competitors.
