I just need the family of 5, 2 Pelican coolers, 2 tents, water, food, and a 10x10. Other misc gear obviously. Oh yeah clothes will be good. That alone gets close which is why I was like "crap" about the 114lbs from stated. Granted I have 2 Kodiak Canvas cross-bow tents ( 150lbs combined ), and the 2 coolers weigh 90lbs combined *empty*. I think the tents and coolers loaded hit 400lbs.
Four people, luggage or sporting equipment, and a cooler could put me over The 961 lbs rating. I don’t think that’s very much to expect a midsized truck to haul.
? you’ve got a hell of a decision to make than! ?
Could put the entire family on a diet. lol
You need to give yourself a little less credit and a little more narcissist to your personality. I'm an asshole and it feels great. ?
If that is true about the maverick I suspect a lot of it could have to do with how much lower it is to the ground and how much less suspension travel, etc. As a parallel comparison our 2008 Volvo V70 station wagon had something like a 1,400lb payload...that car was built very well, but also kept any weight down low.
Here's some buyers remorse... https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/disappointed-with-my-gladiator-purchase.49661/
since I didn’t buy it off a dealer’s lot I couldnt see the decal.
