This is a great question. Yes the trailer brake controller I know is working, and I do not feel any drag when driving at low speeds around my neighborhood. Now my trailer tires are in need of replacement and do have some very bad wear patterns (they have 15k miles on them). I wonder if there is...

JT and Overland, What elevation do you tow at? It's only at 900 miles now. So the break in might be the issue. The dealer does want to check it out, so it's scheduled to go in in 2 weeks (soonest appt they had). (for the heat issue while towing and the soggy front springs bottoming out on...

So I’m wondering if something like this might help she Hey there! The images were taken with me full throttle going up i70 towards evergreen Colorado. 6% grade with about 3100(ish)total weight in the trailer. I am told I should try to pull in Manual mode as you can jump RPMs up a bit higher...

100% agreed here. The engineers were likely focused on the test itself, and passed the test. We understand that. My comparison was to my 4.0L tacoma, which would hit the same hill, at faster speeds, with significantly less heat, no pulling of power, with 1/2 torque, with a lift kit, and much...

This was an awesome post.

Hey all what is the tow rating for a 2021 Jeep gladiator rubicon 3.0 eco diesel, I’m seeing conflicting reports. Is it 6000? Or 3500?

I wish I would have seen this before I towed, I am shocked it wasn't included in the manual!!!, and was added as a 'supplement' Also I see in the supplement it states Diesel (all models) are rated at 3500lbs max tow. Is that right?

check this out. This is exactly what you are talking about. Reduced fuel economy and power may be seen during this time. Anybody know any Jeep ECU programmers that understand the logic here? I’d love to understand if it’s a static value, or a dynamic algorithm, based on engine load / temps.

interesting I don’t see that in the manual, I see it states the engine is pre broke in. Where are you finding that info?

No parking brake was on, look at the images while I was towing. Accidents happen like that, but seriously man, I’m not an idiot.

Hahaha winch:-P

Nope the Gladiator is a Rubicon, no added parts right now, it's bone stock, minus the dog seat separator I have in the cab... (which weighs like 2 lbs)

Man all of these different experiences is crazy to me... I have no winch (yes this is the EcoDiesel), nothing is blocking airflow, it's all stock rubicon. I just did the same route again, as I was curious.... This time I added another 400lbs of weight (filled the water tank). This time I took...

Try going up a hill.... I70 from Golden to Evergreen, the ecodiesel is slower than my 4.0 Tacoma, with an empty trailer, and nearly anything in the truck....

I guess, that was more of a rant, but is there anything I can do to improve cooling? As I suspect that is the main issue here. As a bit more context flat land it tows great and there is plenty of power.... It's just extended up hill climbs where it just falls apart....

Hi all, hope a few folks get a chance to read this post. I purchased a new diesel gladiator with high hopes that it would out perform my Toyota tacoma towing my 2900lb travel trailer (RPOD 179). My hopes were crushed today on its first voyage. I live in Golden Colorado, and spent an hour this...

I am curious are you having any issues hitting the bumpstops on speed bumps, or cattle grates, etc?

I wouldn't wait.... The issue is up-travel is limited and dampening isn't high enough. When you say Lift though, remember, a spacer lift although might increase distance between bumpstop and strikeplate, the spring rate and damper rate is the same, some report it helps, some don't. From what I...

Awesome! So here is the latest update from Lisa. FYI she was awesome to talk with. 1. She had 9 jeeps in her submission to the engineering team across the country that had this issue. 2. Jeep is not going to pay for lift kits, so don't call thinking you will get one (of course, and we joked...
