  1. Would you feel comfortable towing...

    Yes, awnings on both sides of the trailer. Most weights on the ball are higher then both the MFG states and what you find your self. It is always an issue when people talk about their rigs.

  6. RV Towing

    Here is a work out for a 16' Airstream and a Gladiator Overland. This is the only way to find if you are legal not only on MFG ratings, but also staying within the LEGAL limits for your tow unit. One item i find is usually missed is the actual weight of the Load Equalizing unit you pick. That...
  7. So, what is everybody towing?

    Gladiator & 16' Airstream. Towing "on the ball" has been a great experience so far. No Sway or Load Equalizing Hitch. Air Bags in rear coil springs. Glad. & Airstream are happy with each other. :like: I have to be careful with the load in the Gladiator (to stay legal), which is people, fuel...
  8. So, what is everybody towing?

    Hope the picture and Word Doc will help in the selection of what type of Gladiator and trailer to match up. Based on actual numbers on the report. I had the Gladiator before I bought the 16' Airstream. I would have chosen a Sport S with "Max Tow" for my tow truck.
  9. Help! Buying a Travel Trailer and need help with weight/size of trailer to buy

    Labswine: With your trailer at 5,100 lbs loaded I would bet you will be pushing your 600 lb max tong wight of your Overland. You will also "for sure" be over your "payload" number. My Overland (fed sticker on door) has a 1035 lb payload. Yours should be mostly the same unless a stripped down...
  10. Eco diesel or max tow

    Sport S is one of the lightest base Gladiator. Sport is the lightest. All options, one any model take away from PAYLOAD number. That is why my heavy optioned Overland only has a payload of 1035. Bob
  11. Help! Buying a Travel Trailer and need help with weight/size of trailer to buy

    I have a Curt Echo and had it up and running in 15 min. So far, works great. Have I-Phone mounted on a window suction mount and the App is open and running right in front of me. Gladiator + 16' Airstream. Agree with ALL on this post both trailers are too much. Even with my 16' Airstream with a...
  12. Eco diesel or max tow

    AS others have said a Diesel will run into "The combined weight of occupants and cargo, should NEVER exceed number. (for my 2020 Overland) 1035 lbs. On Federal sticker on door. This number is different for "EACH" truck produced. I have seen Diesels have LESS than 1000 lbs of Payload. This has...
  13. So, what is everybody towing?

    Try Curt Echo. Wireless & and works great. EASY set up.
  14. Getting headlights adjusted, weight in back.

    Install air bags in rear coil springs. You can adjust anytime to allow your Gladiator to ride level, based on load. Works really well. bob
  15. Base Sport Max Tow no longer available

    2020 Jeep Gladiator Overland. With Tow package. Using Curt "Echo" wireless break controller. After down load of App, took no more than 5 min. to get it working. PERFECT break control pulling a 16' Airstream Caravel. Works really well. No issues on the Blue Tooth connection or control from...
  16. So, what is everybody towing?

    My Overland is 1035 on Jeep door sticker. No: bed liner - no Cargo bars - Yes: hard top - soft folding bed cover
  17. JTR Towing weight reduction

    This week I will be using a "CAT" scale and will give the numbers sometime next week with trailer hooked up. I know my hitch (ball) weight is 560 lbs (with only 25% fresh water and NO black or gray in tank), which comes off the 1000 lbs that I have. So you can see adding 2 people and a dog, does...
  18. JTR Towing weight reduction

    Here is how you can save almost 100 lbs on an Airstream 16'. I am also working on a weight and balance and legal approach to my Overland. Sticker shows that i only have 1035 lbs for payload. Life Line AGM Group 27 100 Amps = 62 lbs each (standard equipment) Battle Born Lith batteries 100 Amps...
