  1. Towing Speed

    I must have jinxed myself when I replied to your post the other day. I should have looked at your pic and kept scrolling. This afternoon towing my boat back from Florida the same thing happened to me. Definitely isn't fun changing trailer tires on the side of I-10. As far as the rest of the...
  2. So, what is everybody towing?

    Today was the first real towing I did with my gladiator. Towed my boat from N.O.L.A. area over to the Destin FL. Trip is right at 175 miles on I-10. Boat and trailer set up is 6k lbs. Gladiator did fine. I kept my speed around 60-65. I mostly kept the 8 speed in manual mode. Seems to do well...
  3. Towing concerns. What are you towing at what max?

    Good point about the GCWR. In the Overland that number is 11,100. After going over the scales I was 80 lbs over. My guess is the Mojave would be the same since it also has a 6k tow. The Mojave is probably a little heavier than my truck so that could be a small factor. Here are my weights from...
  4. Towing concerns. What are you towing at what max?

    My overland has a 6k tow rating also. My boat is right at 6k lbs. Yesterday I towed in about 25 miles to a set of scales to verify the weight before towing it to Florida next week. The truck seemed to do fine. It's very stable. The 3.6 isn't the most powerful but it did ok. Around 60-65mph...
  5. Towing Speed

    That sucks. I used to have a boat and every time I towed it I seemed to have some sort of tie issue. What a pain in the ass that used to be.
  6. Towing Speed

    I have always felt comfortable towing around 65mph. I towed my boat today with my Gladiator and 60-65 feels safe while moving along pretty good.
  7. So, what is everybody towing?

    Towing a 2018 Robalo 246. Next week going to Florida.
  8. Will it Tow My Boat?

    Hooked it up and drove to a scale to check the weight. Weight came back at 6040 lbs. That's about 1/4 tank of fuel in the boat.
  9. Will it Tow My Boat?

    Definitely 6k lbs. Boat with ttop and options I have is 4500. Trailer is 1200. Add batteries, tackle and other stuff that's right at 300 lbs. Any time I tow I try to have very little fuel on board. That saves about 400 lbs. So ya, very close to 6k I will be towing to Florida next week so I'll...
  10. Will it Tow My Boat?

    Towed my 24' boat yesterday for the first time. Only towed it about 10 miles or so, but I can say it did better than I expected. Boat and trailer is right around 6k.
  11. First tow with my Gladiator Overland.

    So today I towed my boat with my Gladiator for the first time. Gladiator is a little over a month old. My truck is an Overland with towing package and has a 6k tow rating. My previous truck was a 2016 Sierra with the 5.3. I generally only tow it once or twice a year. Once to go to...
  12. Just turned 2k miles.. 2 questions

    Mine is the exact same. 2500+ miles, and not once has it kicked in. Maybe some old school engineers at Jeep got tired of the ESS and made changes in the software so that it virtually never kicks in...lol That guy would be a hero in my book!
  13. Just turned 2k miles.. 2 questions

    Auto trans. Like I originally said, i totally love my truck. Favorite vehicle I have ever owned.
  14. Just turned 2k miles.. 2 questions

    Wow...you are definitely a fan of ESS. I bet if you take a poll of gladiator owners on this forum the vast majority will agree these sort of ideas to reduce emissions do more harm than good. I have seen several post about the "second battery" going out and leaving people stranded. I'll take...
  15. Just turned 2k miles.. 2 questions

    I'm not worried about the starters wearing out. I'm worried about the 50 different sensors and electrical/computer components needed to make this system work. All of which probably saves about 1/2 gallon per year if you're lucky. Its unnecessary if you ask me.
  16. Just turned 2k miles.. 2 questions

    So I have basically tried all of the above. It's not set to lowest temp and definitely not the light break pedal thing. When I scroll through the dash pages it says cabin is heating or cooling. One day I had the a/c temp on about 70 and it still never kicked in. Don't misunderstand me, I am...
  17. Just turned 2k miles.. 2 questions

    That's how my gladiator is. My gmc Sierra would take 5x that long to get up to 190ish. Tomorrow morning I will definitely look at the actual analog gauge in the offroad page just to see if there is a difference in the little temp needed on the left side of the center display.
  18. Just turned 2k miles.. 2 questions

    I have seen that posted a few times, so I thought maybe so. Saturday morning about 7am, it had just rained and was low-mid 70s outside. I drove about 15 miles to Lowes. The a/c was off for a few then I turned it on low heading back. Stop/start still never kicked in. I hope it stays like this...
  19. Just turned 2k miles.. 2 questions

    I have had my 21' Gladiator for almost a month. I have right at 2k miles on it. I absolutely love it. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I have 2 questions for you guys. First one is about the stop/start. So far, my gladiator has not done the stop/start cycle. Not 1 single time. I...
  20. Opinions on purchasing a gladiator

    I used to think the same thing. 2 weeks ago my neighbor traded in his 2018 Honda accord. It was constantly in the shop with electrical issues. As far as the Gladiator (Chrysler) goes, my buddy has a fleet of dodge pickups for his company. They have no more or less problems then Ford or...
