Tried to edit the title and day "flat tow" but it wouldn't let me

I've seen their youtube channel and they appear to be driving the Gladiator and not having to towing it

on their Daytona beach Jeep Week video they admitted to towing their JL with a 1 ton Dodge when they met another couple doing the same thing.
After driving my JT from Boise to Tahoe earlier this month I can see why. Our main traveling car is a 2018 Lexus 450h and while the JT was a bunch of fun in South Tahoe, the slow gas guzzling trip through the desert to get there was exhausting compared to the Lexus.

Yes, great thing about Jeeps. Put the transfer case in neutral and they are ready to go. I’ve got a 2004 LJ that has been towed behind our motorcoach more miles than it has been driven.

Yep, should be fine.

how is the jeep any slower than a Lexus? I can cruise at 80 mph all day in my Mojave.

Haven’t used what yet?

A stock or slightly modified Mojave might keep up with the Lexus at highway speeds, but will not keep up with me on trails like the Rubicon. I don't desire a "plush JT" I have plush cars for car stuff. Headed to Moab soon, come do Metal Masher and cliff hanger with me, much more fun than any highway drive. looking forward to meeting you on the trails, not in traffic.

I didn’t think keeping up with you off road was what this thread was about?
