Exactly. I have pulled my camper with a 3.0 with 3.73 gears and with a 3.6 with 3.73 gears. The biggest difference is how it pulls the weight. With the trailer hooked up taking my foot off the break gets me moving in the diesel. With the gasser you have to give it some. And I'll tell ya...
My ecodiesel tow less on paper, but tow way better. Manufacturers play the game of one upping peak numbers at the detriment of the non peak numbers. Sure you can rev the piss out of a pentastar and make peak figures, but a v8 with a better torque curve would improve the gladiator.
I have 37s on my jeep with a 2 inch Mopar lift and low fenders. it doesn't rub at all until i disconnect the sway bar. i have been eyeing these from rough country...
The ecodiesel is a gem. More power feel with stock gears and 37s than a gasser with stock gears and 33s. Pulls trailers and crawls up rocks.
The diesel is not without problems. A big pushrod V8 sounds great.
I applied, I'm thinking its just 70k as good press for a small number of veterans.
If its really 70k I'll still have to sell the gladiator to afford it.
was there a creek running through the golden crack when it was raining? Trifecta is a commitment. we did that thinking we would start at noon and end poison spider at 4. we got off the trail at 2 am
