I used to pull my 21â Baja Islander bow rider out from boat ramps using my old Nissan Murano.
The Gladiator should do fine.
If you get a bad feeling about getting the truck down so close to the water, leave it in the parking lot and see how fast you can get the boat to skip up the ramp...
I was drawn to itâs use up here in the North East, primarily because it was a great way to get low-mount amber lights for snowy conditions (I think we all know how bad the standard LED lights are in a snow storm).
I have had the skid plate installed for about two years (early adopter).
For what it is worth, I am confident it has not actually had any scrapesâjust seems to rust and the coating flakes away easily so I try not to touch it.
Based on my own informal summary of the posts on this site, it seems the Gladiator model years to avoid are 2020 and up.

I brought this to my dealerâs attention shortly after I hit the 3-year mark, but well within my extended warranty.

I found this method to be the most accurate way of determining the correct tire height value to enter via JSCAN. Just FYI.
In the first post, OP said the lugs are LESS THAN half the weight, soâŠ
5 OEM lugs = .88lbs
5 Ti lugs = .43lbs
x4 Wheels:
OEM = 3.52lbs
Ti = 1.72lbs
That means, you could easily purchase TWO FULL SETS of Ti lugs (3.44lbs) and keep the second full set in the truck JUST IN CASE some rapscallion...
One thing I wish I could do with JSCAN, would be to enable the Blindspit warning sound when my doors are off.
Currently, the truck completely disable BSM when the doors are offâunderstandably, the side mirror visual warning wonât work with the mirrors removed, but I would think the lack of...
