I like the looks of it, but the east west sleeping area is only 72" long. I'm 6' which I think is close to average, so the one for the Gladiator will probably be even smaller. Maybe the bed will pull out for north south sleeping like some of the others. It would make a good rig for a single or...
I looked at a Bean, nice product. I think if I were going to spend that much on a teardrop trailer I would consider a Camp-Inn 560 Raindrop. Pricey, but less than the Bean I was looking at. A 60" wide interior model is best, and will give you a little room around a full size (54") mattress.

I've seen 15%, 20%, and now 7%. I guess the 23's are moving, even though it doesn't look like it around my area.
It's personal preference. I don't need more where I live, but it's flat here and I have an F150 for hauling loads when needed. But if I were playing in the mountains somewhere towing a decent load without trailer brakes, I would probably want it, but that's very situational.
It looks as though PA is the same as MI, anything over 3000 lbs requires trailer brakes. Not much of a problem here, but I don't think I would like a 2995 lb trailer pushing my 6000 lb truck with stock brakes down a mountain, at least on a regular basis.
If I lived in the mountains, I would...
Wow, you got to drive in boot camp? Never heard of such a thing! I only saw civilian cars over in the parking lot, never anything military. Recruits were never alone much less driving a vehicle. You and I must have went to different places, and it sounds like I got the short end of the stick.
The Wrangler will get another two engine choices, more factory gearing and tire options, and the ability to order all options ala carte. The Gladiator will get another color choice, Chartreuse, and a simplified two option ordering scheme. You can order either a heat, keys and hand crank model...
Ok, got ya. I was under the impression that the front of a 4x8 sheet load would be laying on top of a 2x4 that is resting in the divits of the wheel wells. I'm always learning, but I'll still keep the F150 just in case I need it for something.
I like red, orange, and even some of the gold colors Jeep has had in the past. I’ve been buying Jeeps and Harleys since the mid 80’s, and I’ve had a lot of different colors. My current truck is magnetic gray, kind of like Granite Crystal. I bought a 1984 Harley Low Rider and it was two tone...
Who said anything about bright colors, and who referred to you as being a clown? Who said brighter colors = clown colors? One of my Harleys is red and it's my favorite.
This...
Even if I planned on modifications, I would want the heaviest sticker for legal and insurance reasons. Sure, you could easly build the Jeep to carry a ton safely and every bit as good as a max tow, but if there's an accident you could be liable. The possibilities are endless...
Ya I see how to get sheet goods above the wheel wells and I'm not impressed. I did a reno on a part of my mom's house and carried 44 sheets of 1/2 drywall in one shot. She lives 40 minutes from the store. You can't do that with a Gladiator, ever. Sure you can pick up a couple sheets of plywood...
You want to tow and haul heavy stuff, get a full size truck, especially if you need to carry sheet goods on occasion. I'm looking for a Gladiator to tow my teardrop camper into the bush, keeping my half ton for truck stuff. I see the Sport with max tow and it's better payload as the only option...
I don't know, for a minute there it was 15% off all and 20% off sports. Now it looks like it's 13% on sports only, and the dealers are tightening their belts a little too. Stellantis is jigging with incentives, and they will fight tooth and nail for every penny.
I'm still looking around with...
Congrats on the new Jeep. I'm still looking and there are a few Willys's in my area, but I haven't had time to go see them yet. Could you tell me what the payload sticker on your truck says?
Thanks
I had a retractable cover on my F150, great cover but I replaced it because the box on the inside got in the way when doing truck stuff. I'd definitely put one on a Gladiator though.
