On a somewhat similar note , I just put a pallet of hardwood flooring weighing 900 pounds into the bed. Sticker on door says my payload is 925. Maxed out and didn't really feel it. I had my f150 at max before and felt every bit of it. The jeep at max (925) didn't feel sluggish, didn't squat...
The trailer empty is 42XX. I have two small kids. If I just towed it without water, it will be several hundred under the rated towing. Thanks for the advice.
I like the nobo 19.8 too. I was worried the Gladiator will struggle too much through the hills of Tennessee. Sounds like you guys that tow just under the limit are doing fine. I have experience with trucks . I had a f150. Tow max on it was 10500. I had a trailer with concrete blocks before...
I want that apex nano because it's the lightest dual axel with a slide out. I won't be towing to Colorado. I'll be staying midwest. It sounds like I'll be right at the max with it , but really want that one.
Yes , I'll probably only use it in the midwest . Wisconsin / Michigan . Haven't owned a camper . Had a f150 . Towed with it a few years ago. No mods on my jeep . I like stock. Are there mods to assist with towing at near max tow? I seen people talk about adding max tow springs or air bags .
I had a f150 and towed a little before. Never owned a camper though. I'll likely only go to camp grounds with water hook up. It is possible to only pull that thing dry with no water in the tanks ?
I just bought a 2025 Gladiator Nighthawk. Went way out of my way and paid more for the tow package. 6,000 pounds. I would love to purchase this camper.

Its 4300 dry. Is this doable with my rig. I'm figuring 1k in...
The nighthawk is what the Willis was 3 years ago. A Gladiator with dana 44s without a lock diff. However, it has tru-lok. You kinda of get a locking diff.
Wanted a Gladiator for a few years. They never really had a trim that just stood out to me. I plan on doing very light off-roading . I will not be rock crawling and tearing it up. To me , the Nighthawk in Anvil just did it. Looks so good. Is it off road capable , YES. Dana 44 heavy duty wide...
I just purchased a 25 Nighthawk with the tow package . 45500 sticker. Got it for 37500. About 17% off. 7k off. They had 24 Rubis with 60- 70 k + stickers for 19K off .
