Fair enough. I mentioned it to my better half and she pointed out that I need to keep my hard top cuz of our joyous Wisconsin winters. Good luck finding a hard top soon.

I'm in the great state of WI and I'm starting to entertain your concept. However, Google says I'm a 16 hour drive to Delaware. If I decide to take you up on this, are you up for an 8 hour ride for each of us to meet in the middle?

Sounds right to me. I can only assume that the Durango has the same ZF 8 speed that the JT has? If so, the 6th gear comment is in line with my experience. (And yes, I end up going into the auto-stick setting when it wants to fight between 5th&6th gear -- I force it into 6th and deal with a...

Got it. Well, for full clarity, the JT doesn't have any issues in my mind towing at 70mph, but it never really ends up in 8th in the ZF transmission. I think I'm mostly in 6th gear at the most and will occasionally end up in 4th/5th for a bit to get up to speed again or handle a hill. I...

Yeah, so I don’t know how the JKU 6 speed is, but the gearing in the JLU 6 speed is goofy and I recall test driving it and thinking I was fine going 70 on the highway in 4th gear just by sound. This is after driving stick for 10 years or so. Then I looked and realized I had two more overdrives...

I have had no trouble maintaining 60mph on flat-ish stretches. I go 72 (camper tires are rated for 75mph at full psi -- need some safety margin) on the highway which is mostly flat and it's fine. It will take a little while to get up to speed, but it's a Jeep...it takes a while even without...

Well, then I’m guessing towing mirrors may not be as critical. Now you have me thinking about how my camper has a mount for the wireless cam and it certainly would help out while going down the road too. Well, then I just checked Amazon and saw that the cheapest backup cam package is like...

Boo. Sorry you're waiting. It seems like Jeep really goofed up not having the 4190 LE's be the first ones that rolled off the line. Here's wishing you good karma on the LE arriving before convertible season ends. I am kind of glad that I didn't order my JT because I ordered my JLU last summer...

Murgatroid - Thanks. I actually went into the dealer to buy the identical one in Firecracker Red, but that one was getting a lift kit and bigger tires. I told my wife "white will match the camper better" (which apparently is a thing for people having tow vehicles match the trailer? :))...

2019 Forest River Surveyor 19BHLE - 23' travel trailer/camper here that is 3600lb dry; probably 3900-4000 lbs loaded up. :)

TL;DR - The Gladiator did awesome towing our ~3900 lb camper and was light years better than our Honda Pilot that was rated for 5000 lb tow capacity. Well, my family loaded up "Max", our JT Sport S with the Max Tow Package and took it on a 120 mile round trip camping weekend trip. This is our...

Well, these mirrors ended up working great for ~120 miles total of usage this past weekend. The only issue is that the brackets/straps closest to the outside of the mirror worked loose and the brackets were no longer gripping the frame of the side mirror. I noticed this about 5 miles away from...

I would like to buy the stock running boards/steps as featured on the stock Overlands and any Sport/Sport S that came with that option. I'm in De Pere, WI (Green Bay area), but would meet up within a couple hour drive for the right deal. It seems like others around the country are having...

Yeah, they worked awesome on the Pilot. I know my wife’s Pilot is a couple inches wider than the Gladiator, but I wasn’t looking out the edge of the mirror to see behind my camper anyway. I will report back after my first camping trip in the Gladiator 7/26-7/28. My camper is 7.5’ wide too, so...

Just another confirmation vote for the Tekonsha P3 being plug and play with the 3014-P wiring harness. I plan to do the bolt and wing nut plan to mount it to the bottom of the kick plate like the video of the JL Wrangler I saw linked on here.

I consider myself someone that appreciates fine speakers (but not an audiophile), and I totally agree with sitting in a JT with and without the Alpines but for the opposite reason of others on here. I had a JLU Wrangler Sahara with the crap stock speakers and recently bought a JT that was...

I voted Merlot cuz it’s wine... I personally named mine Maximus which is Russell Crowe’s character name in the movie Gladiator. It also seemed fitting since I have a Sport S with Max Tow, so I will be calling it Max for short. I try to make some connection with the name or history — my first...

Thanks for this write-up. This was one of the testimonials that helped me feel better about buying the JT Sport S with Max Towing package as a tow vehicle. I had some mirrors from Amazon that I bought for my wife’s vehicle and thankfully they strap right on to the Jeep mirrors. Note that this...

I bought the Fit System 3891 mirrors from Amazon for my wife’s Honda Pilot. Now that I have a Gladiator, I’m planning to use that for towing. Thankfully these mirrors clip right on and strap in really nice. I have towed with them strapped in on a Pilot and they don’t vibrate at all. I expect...

Picked up my white Sport S with Max Tow from [Banned Dealership] Jeep in Milwaukee on Saturday. Awesome buying experience there - ask for Nick in sales. This was a pre-spec’d one and Max Tow was a must. I had a ‘18 JLU Sahara before and really digging the JT, especially for towing the camper shown in the...
