When towing mine, I never see 8th gear. The whole schmegeggie rolls along nicely on the interstate at 65 MPH in 7th at around 2,100 RPMs. I also shift manually for the same reasons. I feel in better control and the engine isn't screaming along at 4K RPMs nor is the transmission jumping around...

I have the hard top with the BestTop SunRunner in from mid-April until mid-October. I really don't notice any difference in noise levels between the two. I've had mine for around three years now. I ordered my Overland in 5/19 and got it delivered 7/19. I purchased the SunRunner in early '20...

Hankook ATMs. I had them on my '08 Grand Cherokee Overland (Hemi) slightly lifted. I was living in north western NJ at the time, early 2017, and we got like a foot and a half of snow with another inch or so of sleet/frozen rain on top of that. I had these tires on it and went to play in the...

Well, you shouldn't actually tow more than 65 MPH. I found that shifting manually, I can better control the RPM range and speed. If you're going slower than traffic whilst towing, then 'eff' them. Drive your own drive and maintain your own level of comfort and safety. If you've inconvenienced...

Yeah, you cannot 'gear' your way into a safe tow weight level for your truck. It is what it is stock from the factory. Add on all the extras and your tow rating drops dramatically. I tow a 27' camper that's around 5,100 lbs with all we want or need and empty tanks with my stone stock Overland...

AWESOMESAUCE :) :) :) :) :) Congratz and enjoy. I can't wait to get out and use ours again. This year was a bust with me getting two new hips then some fuzzy woodland critter chewing my wiring harness requiring replacement when we were supposed to go to VA camping mid-September (took two months...

The replacement of the third brake light was around $440 itself. The $4400 was to completely replace the entire wiring harness. Apparently, they have to take the entire body off the frame to get to every thing. The harness itself was $780 and a new trailer plug assembly was $120. Everything...

So, back in early September, I had to have my third taillight replaced because it was out. NOT a cheap replacement item...it was like $420 to get it done because it's a 'one piece' assembly and, most of that cost was actually the part. Labor at my stealership is $180/hour. In the interim, I...

Well, after two months waiting for a new wiring harness (damned fuzzy woodland critters which I believe actually chewed my harness causing it to short to my trailer and catching fire for a few seconds ? ??), they finally finished fixing my Gladiator yesterday (11/10) and she came home again...

Well, considering most dealerships are charging around $180/hour for labor, it stands to reason. Heck, even my travel trailer dealership charges $175/hour for labor. Worst part is that the mechanics probably only see around $30-$35/hour of that...

I have the factory liner in mine. I ended up buying a rubber mat for the bed anyways because things would still slide around (even with a cargo bar blocking everything from sliding forward of the wheel wells). Plus, when ever I put my hard sided luggage back there (I also have the factory...

So, your idea of 'roughing it' now is a Holiday Inn Express ? ? ? :CWL::CWL::CWL::CWL::CWL:

I'm guessing by your screen name that you are or were a Bosuns Mate Senior Chief? If so, USN or USCG?

Welcome from the 19382 :) :) :)

I think the 1,000 lb bars. My tongue weight, stated from the manufacturer, is around 420 lbs but with everything in the front pass thru, and the weight of the hitch/WDH ball assembly, it's more like 550 lbs.

I have the BlueOx WDH with sway control. Does a great job of controlling things. I get passed by a tractor/trailer, and it's steady as a rock. Handling is also like I'm not towing anything. She feels just as planted all hooked up as she does not towing anything. I tow a 27' Vantage Sonic...

Yup...mine comes off around Halloween and goes back on around mid-April. Hard panels for the winter. Saves winter wear and tear on the SunRunner.

Grand Cherokees have been great/stable towing platforms since they came out late '92/early '93. I had a '93 and '96 (4.0L I-6, neither with factory tow packages, added a U-haul receiver and wired in a flat 4 for trailer lights) that I would tow a 21.5' boat with and it was around 5K lbs on the...

Take a look at Hankook Dynapro ATm. Good aggressive tread but, VERY quiet and a decent price. Had them on my '08 Grand Cherokee (Hemi) and it went through a foot and a half of snow like it was on dry road. I also drove from the Philly area to Chicago and back again and there was no issues with...

Here ya go...
