I've noticed that it downshifts on pretty much every overpass - even at 65 mph. But, when it's just cruising along on level ground at 65-70 mph it's reporting a stable 29 mpg with the stock tires!
Thanks for that link - it goes to a manual that has 480 pages - the manual I downloaded 3 weeks ago has 670 pages and neither one of them answers my questions, but the great people here have answered my questions!
I did receive the hard copy manual when we bought the truck, and one of the first things I did when we got home was to download a copy to keep on my laptop. But as I said above, neither copy explains the questions I asked...thanks to everybody here for the help!
Thanks everyone - I searched in the manual, both the physical manual and the pdf one, and could not find it - the manual states that the ACC position is there, and what it does, but not how to access it! Same with the trip odometers: it shows where to see them, but not how to reset them!

We've had our Gladiator for about 3 weeks now and I've got 2 questions I can't find in the manual:
1. How do I get the ignition into the Accessory position? The book says it has an Acc position, but doesn't say how to access it.

The standard warranty paperwork shows the 3 year/36K miles but somewhere on all the papers you signed it will have the actual miles on the vehicle when you bought it - that's the number that goes into the computer, and that's the number the service department will reference for any warranty...
Sometimes the lease company can be real "anal" - we once leased an F350 Crew Cab to pull our fifth wheel. So, we installed the fifth wheel hitch and everything was fine. At the lease end we wanted to buy it out and the lease company sent us to the dealer for an inspection - they wanted to verify...
That looks like a good solution - my only concern would be if you ever need to remove the tailgate for any reason. I think I would install it so it's attached to the bed, but is not attached to the tailgate.
I just happened to be reading the owners manual yesterday and it says that if you set the tailgate in the "1/2 open" condition to haul things like plywood and such then you need to add some support in the bed. It suggests laying a 2X4 across the wheel humps, using the convenient depression that...
The dealer we bought ours from said the 0% was good on all models, but was only good for 36 months, rather than the 72 or 84 months that was advertised on TV...
We bought ours, a Sport S, last week: MSRP was $42,505 and listed price was $37,642 - with the Platinum Warranty and gap insurance added on we got out the door for less than the MSRP...
