I just want to say that was a very honest answer and thank you for not bashing the Gladiator. I know how to tow and some people think they do. It all comes down to comfort level and understanding. The individual towing must be competent and comfortable doing the task or they will fail. MPG's -...
Well said. I heard many lease people never even do maintenance because it did not come with the vehicle. Crazy sounding but I wondered why the dealership is always saying to do maintenance at a different interval than the manual and what you said makes perfect sense. I strongly believe you can...
Well now I just learned me something. Thanks for this posting. I thought I was saving gas because the rpm’s were too high for too long but i see your point. Again, thanks.
I believe you are spot on. We had a 2.0 JLU and there is a big difference from the 3.6. We enjoy and have the 4Xe Grand Cherokee and a 3.6 Mojave. The 2.0 just seems faster overall than the 3.6. But the 4Xe is in a class all by itself. Think V8 without the sound (that part sucks) but all the...
Thanks and yep I agree on the speed of the journey, sometimes it is the journey and not how quickly you get there. I learned a long time ago taking my time is time well spent and less costly in the long run. Besides the journey is 1/2 the fun!
Oh ok. Sorry a little slow here. Mine says 973. So subtract my weight, passenger weight, hitch weight, and the WDH weight, and I get my allowable cargo weight. I got it right? Still looks as if I am in the clear.
Jeep has no issue with the 3.6l going to 4k + rpm in whatever gear. I find that quite loud and choose to shift and still be in the powerband. As far as fuel I am getting 10-14 mpg depending on hills and such and get around 250 miles per tank. so for our little excursions of 40-100 miles it works...
You are correct! I towed as a Hotshot with a dually and a 40ft gooseneck all over the USA and the benefits of air bags are increased comfort of the suspension not bottoming out over every little bump, raising the back end of the truck up so the headlights do not blind everyone at night, and not...
I love diesel but I think for the places I want to go and see diesel isn't exactly available as readily as gas. Plus I am in no rush so taking my time is a plus. I chose the Mojave over the Rubicon and the Rubicon Diesel for 1 reason, the seats. The seats in the Mojave and the 392 feel the...
Ha. You know the reasons I liked the Ember and will look at the Grand Design now. Thanks for the heads up. The Embers here in TX sell for 35k not the suggested 55k. I thought that was a little pricey too. The bathroom and holding tanks plus azdel is what sold me. The good news is a/c’s are easy...
I currently have a WolfPup 14CCBL that is about 4K max loaded with a 400lb hitch weight and no issues using a WDH. I don't tow faster than 62mph due to the nature of the truck, engine rpms, and fuel mileage. It does tow really well with that set up just wasn't sure if that extra 230 pounds would...
So been looking at the Ember travel trailers and I am confused about what I can and cannot do with this travel trailer. We are looking at the 170 MRB. The hitch weight is 630 lbs and the dry weight is 4180 pounds with a GVWR of 5460. I know the tongue weight is up there. I can max tow 6000...
I have a 2023 Mojave, decided to take off the doors, top and enjoy the freedom on God's green Earth. Upon realizing the Mojave will not fit in my garage due to my tool box and pending thunderstorms I decided to reinstall all the above mentioned because I like dry seating surfaces lol. All went...
