The wheels and tires don't really add an additional 100#'s each over the stock ones do they?? The stock ones weigh something....

I am in 100% agreement with you on this. There is no "Jeep" sugar coating to cover the fact this truck, I love mine as well BTW, was not designed for towing much of anything. The biggest disappointment for me is the fact Jeep advertised this as a capable towing pickup. But then again, when...

Turbos don't help unless you run high RPMs to create boost. I don't think it would be of any help in a JT, unless your drag racing it..............IMHO.

I beg to differ if you are going to tow a 4,000 pound trailer or anything like that at a reasonable highway speed. It will be a chore if you have any sort of cross wind. I pull a 20' boat, a 19' enclosed trailer, an open snowmobile trailer and a 14' utility trailer. Can the JT pull them, of...

The only real issue is lack of power in our trucks IMO. My JT Rubi drives well and hauls enough in the bed, but suffers when towing with low HP. 75 mph towing in a head wind is brutal with horrible fuel mileage.

There is no way you will ever get 10,000 miles out of your DEF tank. So many variables on it, pulling, highway miles, colder weather, idle time, etc.. I owned a diesel truck before my JT and put 90,000 miles on it. I always filled my DEF tank at a truck stop pump. Never bought bag in a box...

This is not just a Jeep thing. I had the same BS from Nissan on my Titan XD Diesel, time and time again. Didn't matter how many times I called Nissan North America they never addressed the issue. That's why I sold the truck and will NEVER buy a Nissan product again. This will come back to...

I passed on a LE with 200 miles on it and full of mud on the underside.............

The bigger issue is the trailer just starts pushing the truck around. Corners are not fun as the trailer wants to push you in a straight line. Declines are not fun as the trailer wants to push as fast as gravity will cause and will overload your brakes. Going up hill can be managed with slow...

Any ideas on how to stop the sides from lifting up at highway speeds?? Pisses me off that there is no way to adjust the tension to make it tighter????

Where's the V8, give me the V8..........

There may be an advantage to tandem axel trailers in high winds, but tandem axel trailers also push the truck around a lot more. I pull both and the only issue I have is the truck is under-powered making towing long distances at 75 plus MPH exhausting. Jeep missed the mark of not offereing a...

great idea! You could use a Picatinny rail mount for this. They make all kinds of lengths and are a very secure mounting rail.

I wouldn't hold your breath over this as none of the manufacturers care to listen to their consumers on details like this. They only focus on what gets them media coverage. Clearly whoever designed the Gladiator doesn't use a pickup like a pickup. I don't have an issue with that, but as you...

What brand is the hood protector/deflector on yout JT??

I'm right there with you on this. My bone stock JTR LE has never gotten over 15 MPG and is a dog pulling even an open trailer.

Seriously............ I've hauled I don't know how many loads of plywood and have never used any sort of 2"x fillers. Set the tailgate to the halfway location load and strap the sheets in. If you haul sheetrock or some sort of less structural material you may have to install the 2" x...

Anyone on here installed these? I know they are not rock sliders, we don't have much need for them in ND. What I am concerned about however, is using a powered step in the winter sand and salt as well as using them in the mud. Any info on these or others would be appreciated.

I actually looked for an bought a Rubicon Launch Edition because of the options I wanted. LED lighting package is a must, IMO as the lights are far superior than anything else. For convenience sake I would definitely opt for the prox entry, I rent a lot of Jeeps for work travel and not having...

No they do not. Seems to be just enough heat to keep the ice soft so you can wipe it off with gloves, but it does not melt the ice while driving.
