My takeaway from reading the differences between the two was if you think you'll be towing offroad or on rough tracks, go with the Elite. If you're just wanting to tow on normal roads, then the Liberty satisfies that need. FWIW, I went with the Liberty.

Oxygen content of air as a percentage doesn't change as you gain elevation when driving. Its total volume per cubic foot does due to decreasing air density, but the portion of the volume that is oxygen doesn't. The turbo compresses the air to the same pressure as at lower elevation, thus the...

Goes along well with this one.

Again, you had an unusual failure that caused the electronics to have a hissy fit. Your experience is in no way indicative that anybody should expect Autopark to engage outside of its design parameters under normal circumstances. That's the point I'm making.

All bets are off when you don't maintain the batteries in your smartphone on wheels. There's a big difference between how something is designed to work and what happens when the electronics go into freak out mode.

@Jteakus Glad to help and thank you. You can still open your door to see your lift arms without Autopark engaging if you buckle the driver's seatbelt.

Autopark will engage in two different scenarios: 1) the engine is switched off while the transmission is not in park, or 2) the driver exits the vehicle while the engine is running and the transmission is not in park. In either case, there are a number of conditions that must be present in...

Autopark works the same with the doors off as well, provided you're not in 4LO.

Autopark only works when the vehicle speed is very low (book spec says 1.2mph maximum). Any faster and the trans shifts into neutral and you get a "Vehicle Speed is Too High to Shift to P" error message on the dash. It's not the same as jamming your old 1980 Oldsmobile into park at 30mph when...

This^^ A lot of folks forget they can disconnect the driveline via the transfer case neutral position.

Again, the stock turbo is capable of providing the same amount of boost atop a high mountain pass in the Rockies as it can at sea level. Thinner air may make the turbo work harder, but it still can get the job done to ensure the same horsepower and torque you have at sea level is still there...

Yes, the heat issue can happen anywhere from below sea level in Death Valley all the way up to high mountain passes in the Rockies, anywhere that you can put enough load on the engine long enough to get the coolant and/or oil temps high enough to cause the PCM to derate the engine's output. To...

x2, definitely not a lack of oxygen problem as the turbo is quite capable of providing full boost at most any altitude you're able to drive. It's a heat issue. Short and sweet, the 3.0L PCM is programmed to pull the available power back as coolant and oil temps rise above an initial set point...

Stand on the little insulated ladder to avoid this. ;)

The part with the mystery fluid is one of your engine mounts... and they're hydraulic. It could be your mount is bad/leaking.

All Gladiators come equipped with a trailer hitch from the factory. For those without the factory tow package, this hitch is a Class II with provision for a ball mount through the bumper/fascia and is rated for a maximum of 3500lbs and 350lb tongue. If the owner decides to replace this hitch...

Engine's still running, so it can't be that important. ;) Pull the code, then you'll know whether it's worrisome or not.
