I seek no debate on this @ls6. I certainly have no evidence that says otherwise. But why say you so?
I don't think those pics today are correct in the where the bed meets the cab. I say this because I believe the separation between the cab and the bed is meant to flex independently and if that is the case it makes no sense that the rear fender would overlap that spot. Would cause the fender break loose or at the very least rub on the body paint.I just hate it when people make good points that force function to trump style.
Dam you Michael @TheSwiss, dam you!!
I think you're saying @homerun that for functional reasons the picture in my post https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...ficial-pics-and-specs.8214/page-3#post-145662 my not be out of the running as the implementation of the lines between the cab and truck bed ????
I wish, but I think that pic is also incorrect. I think from a manufacturing standpoint it makes no sense that the bed would have to be put down first and then the cab on top. Alternatively to make that picture work you would have to wedge the bed in at a weird angle with the tail gate way up in the air. Also body shops would hate it when repairing damaged panels on the bed.I think you're saying @homerun that for functional reasons the picture in my post https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...ficial-pics-and-specs.8214/page-3#post-145662 my not be out of the running as the implementation of the lines between the cab and truck bed ????
Please elaborate.
That's what I originally assumed, but the original leaks put both the v6 and 3.0 at 6500# and 1400# payload (1100# for the premium trim diesel). The Ram is rated at up to 7700# with the Pentastar in certain configurations too.
I suspect the limiting factor will be suspension and not engine option. I also think the Rubicon will be rated to tow less than other trims.
That will not be the case. The cab is angled at the back side to allow for overlap from the rear flare to bring the rear section in tighter to the cab. It will not be a Brute style cab/bed design with a straight break down like you mention and what you are seeing is what all of the leaks have pointed to in the past. Especially the early CAD files which show this overlap in perfect detail. This is the real deal and how the cab/bed will be when we see it in a few weeks, I am almost certain.
Yes the soft top will open. I think the hard tops will be one with power rear slide and one without.
Maybe up to does not mean some trucks will pull less. Maybe it means in good conditions like not while off roading. People are dumb. You have to let them know not to put 1600 in the bed and then go rock climbing.
