We have a 17 JKU that my daughter now drives as her daily driver and I will be passing my 2005 Ram 2500 to my son for his use when he turns 16 in a few months. My wife drives our Tesla Model S so I will be adding a JT around the time my son turns 16. My turn to get the new vehicle!

This doesn't answer your request, but that measurement of the stock 33" tires is not at all surprising or unusual. Tires almost always have a mounted height that is less than their unladen diameter. For that matter, most tires I've ever looked at have an unladen diameter that is somewhat less...

Very nice truck and 'bu. What are the particulars on your JT? Looks like a Rubicon, yes? Are those 35s and if so, stock gears?

Bada$$

I suspect you are probably about right relative to the reduction in range. I've seen a pretty similar reduction in MPG when using gas tow vehicles as well. Maybe not quite a 50% reduction, but close enough. For example, our 2015 Land Cruiser got about 12 mpg in mixed normal use and about 7...

Agree re. Carvana. We sold our 2015 Land Cruiser to them and it was by far the easiest and best vehicle transaction I've ever had. I seriously thought there must be some "gotcha" coming at some point but it never did. It really shines a light on how completely whack the traditional dealership...

Awesome. Sounds like the JT is working out very well! We had a similar sized trailer (Keystone Bullet 282BHS). It was a bit much for our 2004 GMC Yukon, which prompted the purchase of our 2005 Ram 2500. I'm thinking the properly set up JT might actually be a better TV than the old Yukon was...

That's a lot of trailer? So, how does it do? Not just in terms of power, but stability too.

Thank God for rollcages!

Regardng the Ranger, all I can say is that my dad has had one for about two years and it has been a great little truck for him. I think his is an FX4 but I'm not certain. It easily goes everywhere he wants to take it, which includes a lot of rough forest roads and such but no...

I'm thinking it takes more than calling and asking what their lowest price will be in order to actually get their lowest price. The only way we were able to get a decent price on our JKUS was to define what we were willing to pay, call a bunch of dealerships, tell them that we wanted a special...

I don't tow with a JT but in addition to boats, I have towed a camper trailer very similar in size/weight to what you are considering with both a GMC Yukon and our Dodge 2500. With the Yukon it was marginal at best. Much better wih the Dodge. The thing that made the most difference between...

Now THAT is what I'm talking about. Very nice!

Eh. $800 is $800. We did the same thing with our JKU and I don't regret it at all. Spent $400 on a decent head unit with Nav and it has been great. Factory 8.4 unit is obviously nice but Is it really $800 better than the 7" unit? I know it all depends on perspective but in any event $800 is...

Awesome (and nice boat - Crownline has some fantastic hull design)! I'm less concerned about sag than I am curious about how well the 3.6 will do hitched to that load. And of course overall control of the truck and trailer! You being at pretty high altitude should be a good test.

You are typically withing 70-80 pounds of your GVWR? Hard to imagine 10 gallons of diesel, and the tank for it would mean you had to drive around solo to be under your payload limit.

That is a beauty of a JT!

Perfect. Can't beat the versatility the soft top offers. For people who live in truly crappy climates, I suppose I can understand the appeal of the hard top, but for me a HUGE part of the Jeep experience is top-down motoring. Having to store a big 'ol hard top in my 2 car garage would be a...

Question: On the JT, can you run with the top of the soft top up but the rear window out like we do on our JKU and I did on my TJ?
