  1. Introduction and towing question.

    Completely agree. Nice example Article from MotorTrend…. “During Truck Trend's 2020 Pickup Truck of the Year test, we had the chance to put the Jeep Gladiator to the test while towing a 5,000-pound trailer. The weight was our standard for the midsize truck class, and the vehicle was a Sport S...
  2. Introduction and towing question.

    HAve you towed with it? If so I would like to know what size and why it was jumpy. The Sport S Max Tow gas (petrol in your world) is a towing rig. It is not a wrangler with a bed. The rear is built off the Ram 1500. It has larger cooling, alternator, etc. made for towing. Sure it is not a 1500...
  3. How sensitive is the Trac Lok to tire size difference?

    Old language: Most people have forgotten what used to be called a donut...the spare that was way smaller than your regular tires until they came up with the useless canister of gunk solution to get rid of spares. Many of those cars had limited slip. Use the “donut” tire rule at of course your...
  4. Safely pull over vehicle will shut down

    Pulled from the Wrangler Manual
  5. Weight FYI

    Ditch the doors, roof and back seats ;)
  6. Pulling to the right - Tried a bunch of crap

    Its like anything else. Make one change at a time, make sure it works fine and then move on. Makes troubleshooting so much easier. This applies to everything and not just cars. Otherwise you are just throwing parts at a problem which initially had to do with the tires AND/OR wheels change. I...
  7. Towed for first time today. No tow/haul mode switch?

    The Gladiator does not have a driver selectable tow/haul mode. Jeep says, the truck automatically adjusts the transmission mapping when it detects additional towing load.
  8. Order process start to finish. How long did it take yours?

    8 weeks. Ordered 2.10 and arrived 4.10. Most of that was the rail transit
  9. Why different price for same option on some 22s?

    Yes. Price increase. Some manufacturers raise them multiple times a year, even monthly which is why any time you order a vehicle get a guarrantee that they will stick to the MSRP etc at order and not the MSRP when it arrives. Some dealers tell people that they are subject to the new price upon...
  10. So...Extended Warranty?

    Got mine from Tom. When I picked up my gladiator from dealership we discussed the warrenty and the finance manager said to buy it through Tom as that was the best price as it was the “packed” price that is usually done with fleets. I love my dealership! They did not strong arm on a single thing...
  11. Go from 245/75 r17 to higher on Sport S Max Tow?

    Thanks everyone. All the info helps
  12. Go from 245/75 r17 to higher on Sport S Max Tow?

    New to changing tire sizes. The Max Tow has the wider Dana 44s (4.10). Can I move from the 245/75 R17 to 285/70 R17 with no change to the stock rims or any rubbing? etc. What about a 315/70 R17? I dont want to do any lifting, regearing or anything. Want to keep everything else same including...
  13. Mopar towing mirrors?

    That description goes with all the Dodge Ram towing mirrors from Mopar. Not sure where you got that description with the number assigned to standard Wrangler mirrrors
  14. Tempted by a bronco

    Saw they mentioned Wrangler, but not Gladiator for the new Hurricane engine. Will say one thing though. They are modeling it off the BMW 58 engine. I had the 58 inline 6 turbo on my BMW for 5 years and one issue a lot of drivers saw (including me) was if you idled for too many minutes your PCV...
  15. My towing review. UPDATE! Now with 37s!

    Nice review!!! A piece of information I think others would like to have is payload for a FULLY FULLY loaded Sport S Max tow when they are looking at trailering since your tongue weight goes against payload. I built a Sport S Max tow with every single package except smokers. Also got the spray...

    Had a TJ starting in 1997 so that was 25 years ago :) My JT arrives at dealer 8 am tomorrow!!!!
  18. Lengthy delay

    Ordered 2/10 with everything option wise. It arrived at the rail yard in town and was unloaded on the 4/2. Just waiting for a truck to take it to dealer. So dont think your options are the reason.
