Another laughable update today: Trailer brake controller part number 82215652 will not be available in December. (anybody surprised?) “ Possible “ availability next February

I have even gotten two official letters from FCA apologizing for the delay with new availability dates. Same story each time.

I sure hope they’re right. Be advised, however, that many dealerships have advised that they are available for “pre-order” along with a part number and date. These dates have come and gone many times. I have fallen for them multiple times myself..

Thanks. Yes. That’s what I had heard with regular 37 inch tires. I was just wondering if the KO2s, being less than 37 inches, might fit with usable air. I’m also wondering if the extra torque of the diesel will negate the use of gearing down as is commonly done with 37’s.

So to confirm: BFG KO2s 37” fit ok in the spare well? Any handling comments? I need really stiff side walls as the Summerset E2 off road trailer (high center of gravity and short wb... so inherently unstable). High speed on 31” KO2s on a V8 Colorado are fine by the way.

Didn’t someone say that they had an issue with an after market controller that didn’t surface until attempting to drive with the hazard lights on? I can’t seem to find the thread.

I deeply sympathize with the impact COVID-19 has had on FCA. Still, They had one year and five months since first showing the controller before Europe had any viral impact. I love Jeep’s products and they fit very well into my family‘s needs. Had I known, however, that they would be unable to...

My letter to Jeep today: 2020 Jeep® Gladiator - Towing and Storage Utilities.png I’m a loyal Jeep customer. 2019 Rubicon JLU for wife’s Mother’s Day last year followed by 2020 Wrangler Sport for my son’s Christmas. I was at the Gladiator unveiling at the 2018 LA Auto Show. The biggest news to...

I am absolutely fascinated about The possibility of an NFC reader/app on your phone. 2019 JLU Rubicon, 2020 manual transmission soft top Sport, if I got a 2021 diesel gladiator, the fobs become completely unmanageable. With two, they already are.

I talked to them yesterday. Now December 1st. No. I’m not dumb enough to believe that either. What really blows my mind though is when Jeep Cares says to “Contact your local dealer” !!!! I’m sure everyone has tried that plenty. ALL the dealerships within 50 miles of Salt Lake are completely...

I just got off the phone with them. They’re now saying December 1. They have had the part number for a while but as you know, the delays keep mounting. Frankly, I would be very skeptical of December 1. that will be two years and three days since the trailer brake controller was shown and...

I did get the AJT fob for my Rubicon but I also have a 2020 Wrangler stripped with crank windows. : ) No one is making a key fob for that. I was hoping there might be someway to program the transponder in a Fiat key that would fit in the door. Several are working on that.

Right. But that number is published by lawyers and engineers. The frame can certainly handle it but try going up interstate 70 eastbound or interstate 80 westbound in the mountains with even half that amount.

A motor big enough to tow UP hill. Diesel, turbo V6, (E torque?) I don’t care. I just want to be able to get rid of my V8 Colorado but I can’t because my trailer is 4.500 pounds. A factory trailer brake controller for the same reason above. Any way to get rid of that key fob for something of...

Please keep us posted. You might actually be the first.

Nathan just posted this recently. https://www.tfltruck.com/2020/03/is-this-a-jeep-gladiator-diesel-caught-testing-in-cold-weather-at-high-elevation-spied-in-the-wild/

Bottom line... I think this is great news. Now for the Diesel so I can place my order and actually climb I 80 through Parly’s Canyon while pulling a 4000 pound trailer.

Don’t know if I’ve missed it here. Does anyone know of a front bumper with a receiver hitch? I move small airplanes around, nothing heavy, 3500 pounds max, on a flat surface. The front receiver hitch would should be nice.

That’s the Mopar unit with the trailer break controller. Some of the YouTubes pan by it and if you’re quick, you can pause and zoom in and see it. One year on and another Los Angeles auto show and still only the sound of crickets.

Ran my Land Rover Defender 90 through car washes for 10 years with no serious ill effects. The top was also manufactured by Bestop. I see many Wranglers at the car washes around town that seem to be doing fine as well. I would have really liked a soft top Gladiator but I was really surprised to...
