Your tow cap is way off. Gas automatic rubicon has the second highest tow cap of any combination at 7k lbs.
That being said, you are correct that with your lower payload, it would make it very difficult to max out that tow cap. Even a 6k trailer with a 12% tongue and a 200lb driver eats up...
i worked at a Ford dealership when they did their first "Family Pricing for Everyone" pitch (i think) over a decade ago.
Ford operates on an A, Z, D, X plan system. A for corpos, Z for corpo retirees, D for dealership employees and X was for just the generic "i work for a company that has some...
My Mojave (manual and quite spartan) showed up from the factory with only 1085# of payload. assuming yours is automatic, that's at least 22# less payload available.
airstream 16 shows an expect dry hitch weight of 350#. 1085-22-350 leaves you with 713#. Based on the dry weight and the dry hitch...
Within 12 months of buying my jeep i'd dropped almost 10k. Though in fairness, most of it was planned. I opted for factory cloth to install katzkin leather for 2300 (only $300 more than OEM). I opted for factory halogens to install my own LEDs, and even going Diode Dynamics for heads and fogs I...
Most of your cheaper options are not made in the US. Most things not made in the US are about to get more expensive.
That being said... Diode Dynamics is a good brand and their warranty is top notch, and the rumor mill says their warranty administration is customer service focused, not...
I'm running 35s on factory 33 calibration, so i'm hoping that would help the issue... but i'm sitting at 40k miles right now and still on my original clutch. Have zero interest in getting the 19a performed for all the reasons i've heard about on this exact issue. I drive on the beach multiple...
i mean i'm clearly biased because i weighed the pros and cons and drove both and ended up with a Mojave myself... but if i need to tow heavy or actually rock crawl i would have gone rubicon.
Just because a tire is made in America doesn't mean they don't source the raw materials, machinery, or equipment from overseas. Expect all prices to go up, not just imported stuff.
Also... lets say a US made tire had its cost to produce go up 7% for the reasons listed above... but now all the...
Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme: dealer eschewing massive rebates in order to hold inventory until final payout and then try to sell the units to fools at higher prices by claiming the rebates are gone so they have no choice... and the beast
going solely off memory here, been over two years since i installed my RBz...
The fronts have 3 thumbscrews, and only 1 of them is 100% reliant on the stock fender liner. The other 2 go through the fender liner, but most of the connection isn't really dependent on the liner. The rears have...
-12 is excessive and serves no purpose other than looks.
+12 MAY have a function if you're going with wider tires, but honestly the sweet spot for 315s or 12.5s with the wide axles is +25 IMO, so like +19 for non-wide axles i'm thinking? +12 sounds close enough.
But if you're sticking with 285s...
"buy once, cry once" is a lesson written in wasted dollars and time.
Sure, you can get the cheap thing for half the price of the good thing, but if you have to replace the cheap thing even once, you've now spent just as much money, double the install time, and you're still sitting there with a...
The only reason i didn't select all electric or hybrid is that I do NOT trust Stellantis to produce either variant at a reasonable price point.
As much as I personally only care about a 5.7 mated to a manual transmission for myself, i would absolutely love to see the platform gain options for...
i have absolutely stalled out because the ESS system shut the engine off right as i was ready to engage the clutch and because it just shut itself off it wasn't immediately ready to restart.
Twice was enough for me to turn it off every time i start my truck. With my previous automatic gladiator...
Appreciate the video, this is definitely more in line with what i was looking for. Rather surprised to see his '24 had the old twist-out, no-wire mirror, i thought everyone was stuck with the same homelink/sirius wired mirror i was.
But if the way this whole thing plays out is that all the...
1. It's an Aisin transmission built in Japan. The transmission itself is fantastic. I've owned a few Aisins over the years and have always found them wonderful. Just because jeep paired a poorly matched clutch doesn't mean the transmission itself is anything approaching hot garbage. It's...
I leased a 2022 Gladiator Willys because my Ford dealer put together a sweetheart deal for Bronco reservationists who needed a vehicle while they waited for their reservations to get built. The deal was a cheap price and a guaranteed no money owed buyout when the reservation arrived. Didn't have...
i went from factory 285/70r17s to load range E kenda klever 315/70r17s (if anyone remembers that walmart blowout, that's why).
I definitely felt a minimal difference in acceleration and mpg, but it'd quite difficult in my position to ascribe that to the diameter change vs the heft of the tire...
