I hear you--I was dead set on getting a diesel to help pull my relatively small trailer. Test drove a black rubicon diesel and really liked it. Then started watching the You Tube videos with owners who were pulling the same weight I was planning on pulling and all of the problems they were...
We'll see how it goes. I really don't have the payload to take the 50lb hit that WDH would bring.. I have a sway bar that I intend on using. I know that won't help with the weight transfer, but the trailer isn't too heavy to begin with. If I make the move to replace the AGM batteries with...
Thank you! The bags I ordered are scheduled to arrive today. I just talked with the folks that sell the sumo springs. Honestly leaning in that direction. It's twice the price, but zero thought has to be given once they are installed. I might order them and try them and hold off on returning the...
I ordered the bags, but now I'm thinking I would like a more install it and forget it situation. Just checked out the sumo springs--clean and factory looking in black. All I would need are the bump stop replacements in the back? I lose 1.25" of ride height in the back with the trailer connected...
Hi all--I ended up trading the Titan for the Gladiator. The Titan was much more practical, but the Jeep had a funky presence that I just couldn't say no to. It can pull the trailer without drama, but I would like to firm up the back end. Trailer weight is 2771 empty, 410 lb of hitch weight. We...
Can someone point to me exactly where they are finding these $47k new High Altitudes? I'm pretty good at negotiating prices, and I haven't found a dealer that has been willing to come down that low. I'm considering buying a used one at the price point where some are saying new models are being...
I bought another car from Carmax to commute in 5 months ago. The prices were a little high, but if you keep your eyes open they seem to mislabel some and price them according to the label and not the VIN. I bought a MINI Cooper JCW that was labeled and priced as an "S" model. Even with this High...
I really like the titan. I've only put 15k on it, but it's been bulletproof. Having only midsize trucks in the past(colorado/ranger/frontier) it is a step up as far as size goes. 90% of the time I don't need it and I really do miss my wrangler. If it wasn't for the travel trailer, the Jeep would...
In the situation I'm currently in, would being 200-300 lbs over be a huge red flag in this case? Adding a hundred pounds of WDH is kind of questionable now..........I love the look of this one and the deal is solid, but I don't want to wander into unsafe territory..........
I'll have to look into another option when I get back. I could have worked it so I was just under the 1160 that I was initially told payload was. Staying under 906 will be next to impossible--I'm sure that's already down to the high 800's with the aftermarket hard tonneau cover that the PO...
Ok--It arrived in Madison--I'm leaving on a work trip tomorrow, so I took a look at it and scheduled the test drive for Friday. They have no issue holding it until then. The Jeep is in great shape. Aside from a little scratch by the drivers door, it is perfect--zero stone chips--the bed looks...
Definitely has the tow package and the Trac lock/limited slip option that also lists HD brakes. I'm guessing that they are all the same and it's just marketing speak. I'll report back after driving/towing..........If the steering has a wander to it, what is the fix?
It's funny because Carmax had this one listed on their website as Overland and priced in line with their other Overlands. The High Altitudes they have listed as High Altitudes all have twice the miles and are $4000 more........
Believe me, I've put some thought in it. I probably will end up using the trailer 5 or 6 times a year. The Nissan would definitely pull the trailer without issue--the rest of the time it is a little overkill for what I use it for. I miss my wrangler, so the ability to take off the top/doors the...
Too funny! The painted bumper is the only thing that I think is a little overkill on these things. That's the cool thing about Jeeps tho--can tailor them to individual preferences. I love the look of the steel bumper and the rock rails on the HA--I know it's kind of a contradiction considering...
Definitely like the looks of the High Altitude extras. This particular one with the sting grey paint with the gloss back accents is just a really sharp color combo in my eyes. The only think I can see changing is adding the satin black steel bumper and ditching the side steps for the gladiator...
For sure--but if I trade my Titan in I could get the money for the Jeep back within that 30 days but I would be unable to get the Titan back. I would have to buy something else at full retail. I love my Titan--had it since new and have taken really good care of it. If the Jeep doesn't work, i...
A little 16' basecamp.......2500lbs empty and about 3500 loaded. I checked before shipping--The jeep has the tow package so it's rated to 6000 lbs with a 1160 payload listed on the door. Shouldn't be too stressed.....
Looking at replacing a 2020 Nissan Titan Pro4x(literally perfect condition/15k miles/every option) for light hauling/towing. I have a 2500lb(empty) travel trailer that I plan on towing. I found this 2022 Gladiator HA--They have it listed as an overland. Decent trade value of $39k on the Titan...
