I live in nothwestern Minnesota (up near the Canadian border), so I have some experience with snow. We typically see smaller, drier snowfalls than you, but it's a lot colder here and I believe our winter lasts longer. At any rate, I typically buy a separate set of wheels just for winter for my...

Someone said in another thread (don’t remember which) that ACC does indeed work with the manual. However, as @MaximusDecimusMeridius pointed out it can’t shift for you or take it out of gear. So it won’t bring you to a complete stop. I think it will only slow you down to 15 mph - if you come...

From what I've read the clutch is the weak point. Though keep in mind they have to test these under extreme conditions (60 mph uphill in the heat). That makes the advertised tow capacity pretty conservative under tamer conditions (like the flat plains I normally tow over). It's pretty rare...

I think the gray dashes only come in the Punk'n Rubicons. Jeep must have thought the red dash would clash

Actually, the max tow package does give you the maximum available GVWR off 6250 lbs (same as a Rubicon or Sport S with no tow package). It's just that it also weighs more so you don't get the max payload capacity. Since I want a manual transmission and the ability to tow I'm stuck with the...

Nice! I wish I could get your GVWR with a tow package too ...

Yes, the Sport and Sport S come with a smaller black and white instrument cluster with physical guages in the upper corners for coolant temperature and fuel level (see link below). This is what you get with the 5" black and white infotainment system. If you check the technology group box then...

Judging from the pics that is definitely the upgraded color display that comes with the 7" infotainment system (the one with Carplay and Android Auto support). I don't see why the transmission would make a difference here, though I suppose that's possible.

Yes, all Gladiators come with both 4 pin and 7 pin trailer wiring. There is a socket under the dash that any brake controller can use to communicate with the Jeep. Quite refreshing, actually, as I've had cases in the past where it seemed the automaker went out of their way to make...

I just noticed it in the pic @B345T included with his post about the brake controller. The LSD (a.k.a. anti-spin diff rear axle) can be ordered today on a Sport with the manual, but not the Sport S for some reason.

The controller is installed on the truck, not the camper. You can hook any 7 pin compatible trailer to your truck once you have the controller installed. The only thing you might have to adjust between trailers is the amount of brake force the controller tells the trailer to apply as you brake...

Yes, thanks for the info. Looks like we might be able to order the LSD with a manual soon, too :)

I have had that happen when pulling a tall enclosed trailer. I think the semi can suck the flat side of the trailer towards it (higher velocity air flow creates a low pressure zone). I don't think it matters what kind of vehicle is doing the towing as I've had that happen in an SUV and full...

10% - 15%. Better stability wise to be a bit heavier than to be too light.

I haven't seen mention of a similar taillight upgrade kit, though I haven't really looked as I'm primarily interested in the headlights. It's likely I'll get a Sport S with the safety package which would have the upgraded LED taillights.

Like most modern vehicles, the auto in the Gladiator is objectively better than the manual option in every way. The number of models available with a row-your-own manual has been falling steadily for years, but has really picked up steam the last couple of years. The autos are just getting too...

I don't have a Gladiator yet, but have towed with a number of other vehicles in the past. As others have mentioned it sounds to me like your tongue weight is off. I like to use a scale to actually measure my tongue weight so I can dial it in exactly where it should be without guessing...

@Boris, the OEM LED headlights can be retrofitted to a Sport S. They're available as a kit from anybody that sells Mopar product. I do agree it's dumb that they won't let us spec them from the factory, though. @Berserker556, you can indeed get heated seats with a manual transmission. The...

Oddly enough, I just saw my first Gladiator on the street up here in NW Minnesota (Firecracker Sport S). I don't think Jeep has built enough of them yet to be a common sight.

As noted above, the OEM LED headlights are now available as an aftermarket kit from anybody that sells Mopar product. The part number appears to be: 82215136AD
