I'm new to trucks and towing etc... so the tow rating and GVWR aren't related? I have a Sport S with max tow, so the GVWR is 6250? I should be able to tow 7000?
Oh wow... glad I was able to get one if they're really discontinued... but it seems really weird for them to discontinue the package only a few months into production unless something is up.
Someone locally is selling their overland sidesteps, wondering if I should pick these up. What are the advantages/disadvantages of getting the overland sidesteps vs the rubi or aftermarket rock rails?
Not me... I'm 28, owned three cars.
Bought first at 17 in 2008, used 2005 Mazda6.
Bought at 21 in 2013, new 2013 Mazdaspeed3
Bought at 28 in 2019, new 2020 Gladiator
Yeah. I have to admit when I first saw pictures I thought it was weird/ugly looking, but that weirdness grew on me quickly and I loved that it wasn’t the run of the mill looking midsize truck. So much that I paid a good amount over what I had in mind to spend on a truck so I could get a...
I’ve gotten more compliments on this truck in two weeks than I have owning any other car and I put a good bit of work into my other cars. I think people like it, it’s just not priced very competitively for the mid size truck market, if it wasn’t a Jeep it wouldn’t get away with the price tag...
I’m a manual car guy. I said I would never buy an automatic if manual was an option. I intended to do the same with this, until I read reviews. I realized that this platform just isn’t the best for an enjoyable MT experience and the manual for this truck doesn’t seem to be the best. I don’t...
I bought mine a week and a half ago. I went to four dealers. They all had anywhere from 8-15 on the lot. (Although only 1-2 on each lot where the Sport S Max Tow I was looking for) even with many on the lot, the dealers weren’t willing to give me a good deal. Most didn’t even want to budge from...
man, I drove a manual for 7 years before I bought my auto gladiator a week and a half ago. I am finally getting used to not slamming my foot into the side of my door looking for a clutch pedal when stopping and automatically expecting the truck to roll backwards on inclines. Now I read this...
As for the capability of the Sport S. Should everything be good with the stock height and stock wheels (max tow wheels). I know that this doesn’t have locking diffs, how much and when would I miss not having those? How would I evaluate where my truck shouldn’t attempt.
So the Gladiator is my first Jeep... my first truck... first 4x4. The biggest appeal to this was the ability to go off-roading. I haven't done it before however, so I have a lot to learn.
Hoping to get a crash course for some of my more obvious, essential questions.
1. Drive Modes.
So I have...
So I didn't get the aux switches on mine... Now I'm thinking maybe I should have as I am planning modifications. Is it possible to have the OEM Aux Switches added? If not, how do most people go about not having this feature on the past? Do they just wire up a new aftermarket switch for each...
It’s not really getting in I’m concerned about, it’s sliding on the seat bolster on the way out. I can’t really lift over it because I’m reaching for the ground.
