IMHO - I think leveled trucks carrying any sort of load look dumb and handle worse. My trucks may get lifted, but they’ll always be used as trucks (by me) so they will keep the rake.

I would think that the Max-Tow package would already include the hitch receiver and 7 way connector. Hopefully would also include an integrated trailer brake controller.

I do have a great dealer that would let me try towing my trailer, but unfortunately it’s in flat land country at less than 1,000’ - so - it would be tough to tell how well it would or would not do in the mountains or altitudes above 3500’ where the 3.6 really struggles. I will not ever own...

The paint (clear coat) too a fairly heavy hit. About half of what was visible in the picture were scratches, some just streaks. The bad thing about today’s paints is that they are almost all using water based basecoat and a solvent based clearcoat. The clears are very thin. The base is even...

I use the Jeep to haul our trailer from our summer home in MN to our winter home in AZ. We do a significant amount of desert mountain trail riding (~2k miles year) and the Raptor is just waaaaaay to wide for the trails at a full 13” wider track and the body a few more inches than that...

FCA must really be relying on the additional gear reduction in the 8 spd Automatic to get the load rolling...

I have never heard of that acronym before. After some searching, I find it used mostly in BW Hitch related websites and the one percentage I found was 25% ... I’ll stick with what I know for now. The 3.6 engine is way too underpowered for this sort of tow rating.

I guess I must have missed the VTWR that you mentioned...

Hi Koala, I’m curious where you found some of the specs you have there.... As I said in the original post - I tow between 5 & 7,000 miles per year and that’s likely to increase. Some of that towing is through some pretty good hills and some through the mountains. On our way to our place in...

As much as I would like a single vehicle to replace my Ford Raptor pickup and Unlimited Rubicon - I am having my doubts that the Gladiator is the truck for the job. Sure, the towing specs for the Gladiator are right up and beyond what I had hoped for - the engine is just not up to the task...
