  1. Certified Pre-Owned 7/100,000 - Details Unavailable?

    When I bought mine new I bought an 8 year/125K miles extended warranty (official MOPAR) from a fleet guy for a steal of a price. https://www.mopar.com/content/dam/mopar/pdf/mvp/maximum-care-new.pdf
  2. 2024 packages, beginning of the end

    I do agree. When I built my Jeep I started at the bottom and chose my packages since that altered some single items. Then I went up and touched it up with the single items I needed. Was quick. When I built some truck, like the Tacoma it gets too cumbersome. I guess though the RAM 2500 is the...
  3. Weight Distribution Hitch weight added to Trailer tongue weight or truck hitch weight?

    Adds to your payload. Put it in the hitch and then go weigh the truck. We have an E2. All a WD does is distribute the weight more to the front axle and a little bit back to trailer. It does nothing to reduce the tongue weight. Basically go weight your truck alone then go weigh with your trailer...
  4. Update: Trailer/Truck Issues

    the 7 pins from trailers always have a flat edge on the side that goes directly under the truck 7 pin cover because it helps lock it in as the lid from the truck pin cover catches over it. I guess you could paint the top bright yellow, but the flat piece should always tell you what part goes...
  5. New guy and my first experience towing the travel trailer ****** DID SOME SEARCHING AND ALL SEEMS NORMAL****

    That is odd. We took our Imagine AIM which is about 4700 pounds 400 miles in 100 - 107 degree weather both directions including up a gourge etc and none of my temps ever went out of normal and the coolant stayed right on the nose in the normal range. I have a stock 2022 Sport S Max Tow with no...
  6. 2023 JT Willys Aftermarket “Max Tow Package”

    From a Max Tow person with a sensible TT. I would never ever ever ever tow what he is saying with my MT. Just the thought of that someday coming down a grade somewhere gives me the Willies! He traded in the one he had and had the ability to go with an appropriate truck for it. Can it tow it...
  7. Can I tow an Ember travel trailer?

    To be on the safe side I would go out to the Ember RV Facebook group, join, and ask what they are actually seeing for the loaded tongue weight once you add the propane and anything else to that front box. Also weight will come from that front pass through. You are not just offsetting 30 pounds...
  8. Tricky question?

    I went the other way and had a BMW M car. Traded it in for the Gladiator. Always got to get that out of your blood. Do what you want and go for it!
  9. 2023 JT Willys Aftermarket “Max Tow Package”

    I have a Max Tow and would never ever tow the 7650 allowed nor would I tow the GD you mentioned. It is not safe. You are going to end up with the tail wagging the dog as we say or it will push you right down a hill burning out the brakes. Also you would be starting with a tongue of 581 dry. You...
  10. Just purchased my first camper and have questions.

    Depends. That is not a hard fast rule. In some states when you get to metro areas the middle lane is safer for all those involved due to heavy merging from entrances to the highway.
  11. Just purchased my first camper and have questions.

    I have a Grad design Imagine AIM 15rb. GVWR is 4700I have a E2 WDH/sway and love it. The AIM is 11 ft tall and 20 ft long. It really does not take that much additional time to hook up. The only real difference is sliding the bars on and that only takes raising the jack. The biggest benefit is...
  12. 2024 Jeep Gladiator Refresh Caught in the Wild

    Not sure I am a fan of the color keyed bumpers…..first everyone replaces them so who cares if they color match. Second, color matching means those that keep them show off a ton of scratches etc and also seems more like a car than Jeep. If you keep the current OEM bumpers they absorb more crap on...
  13. Calculate towing capacity?

    One of the differences I think is that insurance companies and law enforcement deem the tow limit weight to be a safety and legal liability deal. Exceed it and you have garnered liability and are potentially unsafe (cannot stop, etc) Frontal area is looked at as a truck performance issue. Your...
  14. Calculate towing capacity?

    6K is more than enough for any GLadiator. I have the Max Tow Sport S and would not tow anywhere near 6K even with the 7650 capacity. The one time I did thin about it I regained my brain capacity! My current travel trailer is a Grand Design Imagine AIM 15rb with a UVW of 3594 and GVWR of about...
  15. Are the days of Gladiators holding their values gone?

    I am keeping mine till it is dead since I love it so personally dont care about trade in value. There will always be a newer and better to draw in buyers. I just ignore it and enjoy the ride. My FJ passed 100K miles a few months ago and I consider that barely broke in. People keep trying to buy...
  16. Towing sag

    Before you start throwing air bags etc at it. Make sure it is completely perfectly set up with a WDH/Sway. And I mean perfectly. Do all the proper measurements to get the correct percentage for the WDH. There are calculations online to use. Then take everything to a CAT scale and get ALL your...
  17. Tire Pressure

    If you really really really want to be totally accurate and get the best wear, temperature, etc, for street driving get the load/pressure table for that particular tire (all specs for that tire including brand)that you put on (not just the general size) as all tires are different even if they...
  18. Mile vs time service intervals

    LOL. Yes. Correct. The 2 year is mostly just inspections. 3/30K is the next. Use the schedule I think it is around pg 352 in your manual
  19. Mile vs time service intervals

    It is called whatever comes first. IF you have something that says 12 months/15000 miles it is which ever you hit first. IF 12 months pass before you hit 15000 miles you get the service.
  20. Gas

    I am feeling pretty good! My Sport S filled up today and it has been saying about 422. I do mixed driving and get around 21 mpg. Course a few months ago I was driving it hard speed and acceleration and it said 385. So yes your mpg performance prior to fill up will determine what it says. What...
