Correct. On public documentation they give a GVWR and basic payload (ie 1600 pounds)for all trims. Then as each vehicle gets built the options they received are deducted from that initial bare bones stock vehicle payload that is the public published payload. Once all these options are added the...

Call me crazy or disagree as only time will tell, but I am going to make the outside bet that with all the new “deadlines” and goals for EVs that we have seen the end of the big engines and we will see most lines (including wranglers and JTs) moving completely to hybrid and full E as engines...

Driver weight is not included in curb weight. Curb weight is the weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all standard equipment. It does not include the weight of any passengers, cargo, or optional equipment. Curb weight is considered the closest weight to the actual weight of...

MY Sport S Max Tow specs at 7650 tow with 765 tongue. My payload is 1400. Your Raptor is a 1/2 ton and the Gladiator is mid size more in line with the Ford Ranger or Chevy Colorado. Two different animals. You would be downsizing. Spec number wise could it do it? Probably. But not going to be...

Nextbase. Hardwired to fuse. They provide the wires to do a double fuse. All wires hidden and run appropriately like a pro would do. I ran the rear camera through the roll bar plastic covers. Ran above windshield pulled grab handle off and rain behind then off to engine bay. Did not take too...

In what world is it a good thing to overload it by almost 100% and then drive it 500 miles increasing the chance of a blowout or brake failure increasing the risk to everyone around the driver? Being a JTR it probably had a payload limit around 1000 pounds max and the OP was running around 2000...

About 8% less than MSRP for mine ordered in Feb ’22. No dealer adds. Built and delivered in 7 weeks.

Merry Christmas!!!! My wife gifted me some cute things today!!!! One for me and the other to give to others!!!

Nope.

Sometimes it is not the brand but an individual vehicle. It can happen to anyone. My JT is coming up on a year and only oil changes. Not a single issue. As for as MPG?….

From what I know they send it to a different building for some of the post production items, such as the bed liner, the side steps, etc.

Agree. We use the rule of never have a trailer where the GVWR is more than 80% of your max. Keeps you in the safety zone. Also @ShadowsPapa is right about the frontal area. Many people forget that. There are so many things that go into whether you should tow something besides “this is the max I...

DONT If that is the dry hitch then no. You have only 15 pounds to max hitch and you WILL exceed that as soon as you put anything in the camper. Do not know what your payload is but if it is around 900 pounds, you will only be left with under 200 pounds after hitch and that is maybe one man and...

I was going to say the same when I saw the word “sloped” as describing driveway. ” Why would you turn off traction control? When traveling up a steep icy hill, or when trying to get unstuck from snow/mud. When attempting to travel through deep snow or mud, reduced power may end up in the...

Don’t use published spec. since you probably had options added at the factory. What is the payload showing on your vehicle sticker? Subtract that from 6250 to see what your original stock (aka curb) weight was. That will tell you the weight of your new mods affect.

We actually once bought a car with our credit card back in 2007. The dealer accepted it and we called the card company to let them know we were going to do it. Paid off the card the next day and got the card rewards.

Mine has over 40 and the Jeep Only dealer has 40. Plus with other dealers probably 120 plus in town.

SPs are such a pain the ass now to do. Time consuming. I remember it was so quick and easy on my dads ’68 mustang. In fact my dad had me doing them when I was an about 12 since it was so easy on those cars. There are things I miss on old engines.

Do what benefits you the most. Basically whatever in the end costs the least out of pocket whether it is the finance with a good discount that you can pay off early or cash with a good discount. We did a bank check for the full amount of the Gladiator (a custom order) and a trade in for the tax...
