When I bought my Willys, I was also looking at a Nighthawk with Max Tow. I figured I would prefer the rear locker to the heavier towing capacity because I don't tow often. At the time, I thought the Willys was rated at 4,000 lbs. I was disappointed that it was only 500 lbs more than my 2016, 200...

That would be awesome, but it doesn't look like they have her tire size (215/55 R 16). That size is commonly used on compact cars like the Civic, instead of using something heavier-duty. Back on topic, I ended up getting Nitto Terra Grappler G3s for my Gladiator about 5,000 miles ago, in the...

The tech is impressive, but build quality and design leave something to be desired. Flat panels with sharp edges just kind of line up together. No hems to protect fingers. Even the Art and Science design language at Cadillac had fenders that wrapped over to meet the hood instead of just ending...

I've got a 2001 TJ soft top with the 2.5L and 5 speed and a 2024 JT hardtop with the 3.6L and 8 speed auto, and I get about 20mpg with both. Lately I've been seeing the Gladiator's average on the display show about 23mpg if I can stay away from stoplights.

You mean differences between a Sport, Willys, Rubicon, etc.? No. In fact, it's the same as the Wrangler JL. Now if you had a set of half doors, those would be different. Unless I'm misunderstanding you, that's a bit of an odd question. The tub - including the door cutouts and therefore the...

In Europe, they also put less weight on the tongue, which is easier on the tow vehicle's suspension and chassis, but it is less stable. There's a video on YouTube where they run toy cars with trailers on a conveyor belt. When there is more weight on the tongue, you can poke the side of the...

I'm wondering if the Jeep site in 2024 was showing information for the manual version, because I really thought it showed 4,000 lbs when I looked the night before I bought the truck. That was about a year and a half ago, though. The site for 2025 and 2026 models show 6,000, which lead to my...

Thank you! That's what I was looking for. I do see the "Customer Preferred Package 2TW" on the build sheet.

It's an automatic. The window sticker shows a Class IV hitch, but nothing about a tow package. The VIN on the Mopar site shows it has the items described in the first post and the Class IV hitch, but nothing about the tow package. The only time that "Tow" comes up on that site is for tow hooks.

I've looked at a few different threads, and I'm still seeing confusion with the Willys tow rating. It seems Jeep flip flops between tow ratings throughout the Gladiator's run. I assumed the tow rating for my '24 was 4,400 lbs, but after reading a few threads, I'm still not sure. I went to...

Those look like the tires on my wife's Transit Connect. She delivers mail on rural routes, with plenty of gravel driveways and maybe an occasional dirt road. She wore out and/or popped the stock tires very quickly. General Altimax RT45s hold up better, but still only last about 9 months before...

I have a '24 Willys that came with the Firestone MT2s. They were great for about 15,000 miles. After my 3rd tire rotation, I noticed they were very loud and felt unbalanced. At 20,000 miles and the 4th rotation, they were still extremely loud, so I had them re-balanced. The passenger side tires...

Do you have a picture of the interference? I'm pretty sure mine doesn't hit the mirror.

I think it is interesting that many people comment here about the Falken AT3Ws being quiet. I put them on the 2016 Colorado 4x2 that I traded for my Gladiator. They rode and handled well, and they got around well in the rain and snow until they wore down and started hydroplaning. When I...

I installed the WT flaps last year after having slush all down the side of the truck during one of our rare big snow storms. They made a huge difference in the amount of mud or slush that gets tossed up. I am wondering if I'll need to remove them before going to the Bantam Heritage Jeep Festival...

I thought about that. That could be an interesting restomod with a 3.0 Eco Diesel.

I'm aware of the J8, but this guy says he had a Gladiator. The J8 is the same size as a JKU, isn't it? That would negate him saying the Gladiator is longer.

So yesterday I found a post on a Facebook page asking for advice on choosing between a Wrangler and Gladiator. There was one odd post where a guy said the Gladiator had a higher tow rating and longer wheelbase, and it had rear leaf springs instead of live axle. (I'm guessing he meant coil...

My '24 has lost the instant mpg display a couple times since November. It is currently missing. A couple days ago, I reset the tripometer on the next screen and went back to the fuel economy display. Now page A is also missing the remaining range readout, but page B still has it. With issues...

I swapped out the Midland ghost antenna for an HYS 17.7" antenna, and the SWR dropped to 1.3. I had previously tried that antenna mounted to the front of the bed, and there was no difference between the Midland and HYS in that location. The combination of the cowl bracket and the different...
