Jeep announced the Diesel Gladiator for 2021, available 3rd quarter this year. This article says you can order it now, but I didn’t see it on the Jeep website yet. https://thenewswheel.com/jeep-introduces-ecodiesel-v6-for-2021-gladiator/

I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m just glad you guys are arguing about something OTHER than whether people should be staying home vs being told what to do, like I see everywhere else. So, thanks!

Thanks for this. My desire for a diesel JT is for a 30 minute commute over country roads and pulling our camper, so this is encouraging to me.

Probably not smarter, but maybe more grumpy. Tired of fixing stuff. A couple of years ago, were on the way back from a camping trip, pulling our 30ft trailer with our previous tow vehicle when it broke down. Fortunately, we were at the last 10 minutes of a 4+ hour drive, and we were able to...

That’s the main reason I bought mine! I embrace the mundane. I commute, it works. Haul the trailer, it works. Snow or trails, etc., it works. I prefer to save the drama and excitement for movies and stuff. If the diesel JT doesn’t pan out as reliable after a few years, I’ll stay with the Tundra...

Man, I feel your pain. I sold my Prius this last summer and got a Tundra (while I wait to see how the JT diesel’s reliability holds up). Whew! Tundra is MUCH better.

I have a 31' travel trailer that weighs somewhere between 6,000lbs - 6,500lbs. I'd love to hear more details about your experience. We're strongly considering also getting a smaller trailer for the same reason (kids getting older and abandoning us), but I'm not looking forward to getting a new...

Whenever a sales guy tells me something I'm not sure about, I think:

Yeah, I've been thinking about this since I weighed it. The Suburban is probably somewhere between the curb and GVWR. It was my wife and me, plus a couple of kayaks and a bunch of camping stuff in the back, but prob not up to the full GVWR. I think I'll go back and weigh just the tow rig with...

So we took our trailer out camping and went through a CAT scale. Total weight was 13,820 lbs. Subtracting 8,600 for the ‘Burb’s GVW, and that leaves trailer weighing only 5,220. That’s quite a bit less then the numbers I’d seen online and in the owner’s manual. But we’ve done a ton of work on...

Part of what I'm concerned about is tearing up the motor & transmission over the long term. I've had both Ford and Chevy versions of beefy motors & transmissions - albeit older ones - and both had trouble from previous owners maxing them out, or even going over the max. When I do get a...

Thanks. Yeah, it's been a bit of work. But pretty fun. And doesn't look like EVERY other trailer in the campgrounds. I've considered a Tundra for a new tow rig, but they're not made to take the top and doors off! If don't end up keeping this trailer, we'd probably sell it and buy a slightly...

We have a vintage '31 Silver Streak trailer that maybe weighs about 7,100 lbs, fully loaded. We currently pull it with an old '99 Suburban 2500 with the 7.4L / 454. Due to the 3.73 gear ratio, tow capacity is at 8k. Tows the trailer with no problem at all. I've lurked on a few threads here and...
