I have a stone stock Overland with the tow package (ordered 5/19, built 6/19, delivered 7/19).
I tow a 27' travel trailer that is ~5,100 lbs with all we want or need in it (tanks empty) and (I'm guessing) around a 520 lb tongue weight (with all the stuff in the pass through in the front).
I...
That's interesting...
Mine was built in 6/19 (ordered 5/19, took delivery 7/19) and I had the Tekonsha IQ installed in mine for the trailer brake controller. I did push the lever a couple of times when towing (finally realizing it was lane position making my trailer not want to behave as I...
I had that issue. They initially replaced the rear window (using a auto glass specialist company) but, could not get all the water out from inside the roof so, I INSISTED they replace the roof because that water inside could freeze, and expand in the winter, and crack the roof, making things...
So, it was a balmy 9 degrees this morning and around 10 AM it'd warmed nicely to around 12 degrees.
So, I started my Gladiator (remote start) and let her warm up. Mind you I haven't driven her for about three days but still...
So went out to drive off and, lo-and-behold, a nice crack running...
Never had the floor plug out and, haven't driven it in the rain or on wet roads so that's not it. I do know that the water is running down the inside of the rear of the passenger door and then running along under that plastic piece collecting in the front floor pan. My driveway is a slight...
So, I'm taking her to the stealership this coming Tuesday (1/23)to have them look at some of the seals that direct the water away from any seams or openings. All the gaskets, the door, the ones around the Freedom Panel, all look good, and are clean and still very pliable like they should be. I...
Okay, so I pulled the tops and looked at the seals and they were intact, clean and DRY ? so the leaks aren't happening there.
We had a real good rain again last night so, this morning I went out to check things out and there was more water in the floor board. Looking at the passenger door, on...
That's where the aux electronic braking on the trailer helps. This is why it's important to have. My Gladiator handles my trailer easily and, the one time I had to hit the brakes relatively hard, all came to a stop rather quickly.
A gasser should handle that quite well. From what I understand, the 3.0L EcoDiesel has has some serious issues to the point of Stellantis not offering it right now until they correct the issues.
Besides, gas is like at least a dollar a gallon cheaper than diesel.
I tow a 27', 5,100 lb (with...
Thanks to all for responses so far.
I did notice water on the rear down frame of the passenger door, between it and the body. Nothing else was wet and after last night's deluge, the floor on the passenger side was quite wet...again ☹
I removed the roof panel to check seals (and tried to clear...
I placed a catch pan under the area to see if anything gathers there as we're supposed to get flooding rains today and tonight. I was just out and about (or as they say in Canada, oot and aboot ? ) and noticed some water dripping down the passenger door, but far away from where the water...
Has anyone encountered this before?
'20 Overland, ordered 5/19, built 6/19, delivered 7/19.
We had heavy rain this past Saturday but, have had heavy rain like that before and NEVER had water in the passenger floorboard before, ever.
I checked around things like the passenger seat, DRY!!!, the...
Unless they changed location, the plug for the brake controller on my Overland with the trailer package (ordered 5/19, built 6/19, delivered 7/19) is behind the kick panel just in front of the driver's door.
Otherwise, I don't know the answer to your question.
I would assume (but we all know...
If your RV has the towing capacity to also be able to stop with the Gladiator in tow with out having to somehow activate the brakes on the vehicle being towed, then in my mind a simple flat 4 connector would be the way to go.
All one would need are rear running lights, turn signals, and brake...
I'm of the same opinion about frontal area. A square front or even a 'v' shaped front like some utility trailers are not as aerodynamic as a sloped/curved front like on the trailer above or my trailer pictured below. I believe that really helps negate some of the 'frontal area' that can hinder...
I for one will admit that I was incorrect. I assumed that all Gladiators had the regular axles except for the Rubi and the MaxTow.
Well, now I know different. So, if I were to change my gears in my Overland from 3.73 to 4.1 and added the MaxTow springs to the rear, then I could conceivably...
The Overland has the standard axles just like everything other than the Rubicon and MaxTow.
I don't know where you're getting your info but, it's incorrect.
Like I said before, EVERYTHING other than the Rubi and MaxTow with an automatic trans is 6,000 lbs towing capacity WHEN equipped with the...
If you have the automatic transmission, you have a 6,000 lb. towing capacity. As stated, the Rubicon gets a 7,000 lb capacity and MaxTow is 7,600 lbs. The Rubi and MaxTow have the higher ratings because of the wider axles, 4.1 gearing and, in the MaxTow, different spring rates in the rear.
I...
