I use the Jeep to haul our trailer from our summer home in MN to our winter home in AZ.
We do a significant amount of desert mountain trail riding (~2k miles year) and the Raptor is just waaaaaay to wide for the trails at a full 13” wider track and the body a few more inches than that. Believe me - I tried it.... Blow up the attached image - that was from one short 50 mile trip being careful as possible... Most of it compounded out, but you can only do that a couple times before you start running out of paint.
The Jeep was bought off the lot and has everything but the 4.10’s (2015 had 4.10 as an option even on Max Tow) ~225 RPM difference at 65 mph would help, but don’t believe it would be a huge difference.
If Jeep really produced this truck with enough nads to tow my trailer without working it to death, I would sell both trucks and buy the Gladiator. A turbo would make all the difference in the world.
I've been thinking about this problem you showed us. I'd be pretty sad about those scratches. My wife also, on a new car. Mostly you can buff out pretty easily, but who wants to? If my JT looks like that after a little jaunt, man I'll be pissed. I hope you just ran into some oily or waxy shrubs. Did you get into paint on any that day?
