I really enjoyed the discussion, I’ve been on RV boards for years specifically for truck campers and those threads go off the rails on payload. But your talking 5-6K in the bed. And there is always those wanting to justify overloading their rig. I’m simply wanting real world numbers to work with...

I do have one last question, I have not found in any of my manuals where it says payload is based on 150LB driver, Other makes and models have done that in the past and I think we assume that's the case here but I haven't seen it anywhere. Would be nice if it were true.... JJ

I wasn't trying to say anything about the tires other than that was what was swapped along with the power steps and Sunrider so still dropped 86lbs regardless...

Actually mine as delivered was 924 off the door sticker, after swapping everything went to the cat scale and reweighed full of fuel and subtracted that weight from max of 6450 and now sit at 1010…

In case anyone was wondering I shaved about 86 pounds off my Rubicon by swapping to overland wheels and tires, amp research power steps and the sunrider top. Giving me 1010 on payload now…. JJ

I picked up a set of OEM wheels and tires from a non rubicon. I am trying to find the weight difference in that set vs the Stock Rubicon tires for my 22. Yes I can weight a single wheel from the set I bought, but don't feel like taking a wheel off the JT to get the Rubicon weight...Trying to go...

I’ve run those on other vehicles seemed to work for my application…

Yeah seems it’s just the factory ones…

In researching towing mirrors I stumbled across these from Mopar Part Number: 82215138 here's the description.... But there's no picture, anyone tried these? Trailer Towing Mirrors offer multiple perspective rear views and are manufactured with an aerodynamic design that helps improve fuel...

The forums seem to confirm 5-550 tongue weight for the basecamp...

Actually its and Airstream Basecamp they have 2 models a 16 and 20 trying to cater to the off road crowd I guess.... JJ

Thank you, I think initially I will see how it tows without and then maybe add the WDH later, I have read fitment issues with this camper and some WDH's... JJ

Here it is...

3400 dry, 4300 max gross and should have about 500LB Tounge weight according to Airstream... JJ

I have the Mopar brake controller, I will look at the WDH....

Since the gladiator has electronic sway control would I need a weight distribution hitch for a 4000lbs trailer? The RV salesman is pushing for one but I haven't seen anyone using one at that weight.... JJ
