15-18 psi in the tires and the Gladiator does great climbing sand dunes.
My Gladiator is great in the sand, it was my F250 that was to heavy.

Go for it! I was torn between a ram and the JT. Glad i chose the jeep. Every vehicle will have its issues and warranty stuff, and the jeep is no exception. But at the end of the day I smile every time I see it in my driveway. If it makes you happy than its an easy choice imo.
Why did you choose the jt over the ram? I think the Laramie has the best interior on the market and sometimes I wish I went with that.

It came down to trying to meet both happiness and function. I LOVE my Jt. Just like past wranglers i smile and stare at it every day i see it in my driveway. I just didn’t have that same reaction to the ram. The jt met my tow/haul needs and still put a giant smile on my face.

Drove to Sema with my Avalanche, Fell in love, stopped at the closest Jeep dealer on the way home and dumped it for a Gladiator Overland. Best move I've ever made. My wife has a JK and loves it but THIS...oh its next level. Fits my teens in the back no problem and once I get the storage system it will be perfect. Just do it, its such a flexible ride.

Train Man, you ever drive on gravel? I've been warned those tires throw rocks at your paint. Plenty of chips on my door hinges b4 I got side steps with regulars.
The Mopar side steps are excellent for deflecting stones and water.
Thanks guys this is exactly what I needed. I appreciate all of your input. This truck comes with everything I want except the 7 or 8 inch screen but looking around I can upgrade that myself. I’m now more excited than ever to pick it up Monday. I’ll post some photos when I get it.
Look further for one with a screen you want, or order it from the factory with the options you desire.

Hey guys I am about to pull the trigger on a gladiator sport S with max tow. I am coming from a 2019 F150. I know that they are a different class of trucks. I do finding myself driving my wife’s JLU all the time instead of my F150. I really do love her Jeep. I guess I am just looking for some reassurance from the group here to pull the trigger.
I towed near the limit of the rating, while it pulled it and stopped it great it was a little loose handling. That being said it could have been the type trailer, it was a small skid steer on a hydraulic lift two wheeled trailer. A longer 4 wheel trailer for the load have have worked better. Overall I was happy with the takeoff and stopping but probably not a great vehicle to pull 25’ camper

Looks like Gobi to me. I suppose it could be Gator.
That's the problem with Gat'r... I have a friend that bought a Gat'r Rubicon, and I thought it was Gobi, but when I saw in person, alas it was Gat'r

I recommend you read issues and TSB thread. There are some build dates to avoid. Wish I knew that before buying mine
I went from a 2012 F-150. I loved it, had the FX4 in black with the appearance package with black wheels and fully loaded. I got the gladiator because I wanted something fun but still needed a bed to haul stuff for projects. I almost pulled the trigger on a wrangler before the gladiator came out. Absolutely the best decision I have made. I have had it over a year and still look forward to driving. I just finally did first major mods with a lift kit and bigger tires and I am even more excited about it than when I got it over a year ago.
