I test drove both, and the Frontier won on power and smoothness of the ride. I did love the looks of the Gladiator though. But, I rarely go offroad, and accessories just aren’t me. My wife says I just don’t look like a Jeep guy, whatever that means. But… breaking in the truck with some Edisto in a Hilson billiard.
Between playing with squirrels, cardinals, crows and dodging rain showers I finally was able to finish my smoke; Balkan Sasieni in an Ashton XXX (but LX-sized) tapered panel Dublin Pebble Shell pat. number 2021. Other Ashtons in this shape that I've seen were stamped "Quaint"...this one is not. This one also has smooth facets whereas the others I've seen are completely sandblasted.

Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2024 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. M'lady fed our cats, and I fed all four ferals. Abner the Eager is the last one eating. One of them left a baby mouse at the door. Watching the Dodgers-Guardians game. Kershaw just isn't Kershaw any more. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
Just because each is a little light on its own, I mixed up a little 5Bros/Brown Twist (sliced) tin for work this week.
Maybe she means you don’t look like a rubber ducky kind of guy. Compliment? Now the guy here who takes bubble bath pictures, he looks like a Jeep/rubber ducky guy.
Put up the laughing emoticon because your post triggered a bit of nostalgia for me. Apparently, I get my brat streak from my mom - I remember her telling me the story of when they first got a telephone in Gunton, Manitoba, where she was raised on a wheat farm. (I'ts about 90 miles west of Winnipeg.)
In any case, she often told the tale of her and Auntie Fran making a phone call to the local tobacco store in the area, and asking them "Do you have Prince Albert in a tin?", to which the clerck would reply "Yes," he would reply. Then they'd say "Well, you better let him out. He's suffocating!" in what I could imagine would be a high pitched girlie giggle.
Silly, I know, but for me nostalgic. It also seems Prince Albert was very popular even in the backwaters of the Canadian Prairies in the Dirty 30's.

Great looking pipe. One of the few "crossovers" I've seen that really works!
Yes, I recently bought one from SP.
It is absolutely tiny. The horn stem is nearly round, so the pipe wants to twist in my mouth. The button will not even take a Dills pipe cleaner....but I fixed that.
I can barely touch my pinky to the bottom of the bowl it's so narrow.
Sonic? It’s quickly getting to be the season for Rt44 lime slushes (fruit juice, not the candy syrup)!
Appears you have a strange weekly day count in Florida . . . . .
Don't mind me . . . . too early in the morning for cognition.
Hmmm, I dunno. I think of the statement I made in reply to the oft asked question of concertgoers to me backstage after the show, "What's your favourite Beethoven symphony?". My very truthful answer was always "The one I happen to be playing at the moment."
Just for your consideration . . . .
Couple of pipes from today, Asteriou and Tine Balleby, both packed full of Chenet’s cake. Hope all y’all are swell! 
Getting a new respect for cobs . . . will post on it this evening, after my afternoon smoke which will be on an outing. Went back to chomping at a cigar, in this case the reviled Phillies Blunt Chocolate, which I happen to like btw, at the computer keyboard. A lot less relights.
Okay, I play 4 out of the 5 weekdays. Weekends are generally family time, other recreation, rest and often, a quick trip to the driving range to practice my golf skills.Appears you have a strange weekly day count in Florida . . . . .
Expecting guests this afternoon, so had to do a little tidying up the smoke lounge this morning. Finally settling in with a bowl of new release Sansepolcro that showed up with yesterday's mail call. The rest of the morning coffee is the side show.
