There is a better than not chance in the future I'd be hauling a small camper (thinking around 5k max) and/or a boat (again, @5k max, 21ft center console). I'm in the Baltimore area and not terribly far from the water but not close enough to warrant a slip rental. The longest I'd likely haul a boat would be within 3 hours.Honestly I’m not sure that you do, I think it would be sketchy as hell. Could you do it, sure! Would you want to, that I’m not so sure about.
The Sport S Max Tow at 7600lbs is right on the nose for what I'm looking for. Its just the suspension setup on the Mojave is better. It is a real quandary.
I'm not disagreeing with you at all on any of this. If I was regularly hauling a long, heavy trailer, it would be Superduty all the way.I’ve always maintained that if you want to do serious towing a Gladiator isn’t the right truck for you. Eventually when you’re maxing out your GVWR and towing a load that’s longer and heavier than your truck, it gets pretty damn uncomfortable. I used to have a F150 Ecoboost that was factory rated to tow 12,000 lbs, and then I had a tune and full bolt ons to boot. I towed a boat and trailer that was probably 35’ long and weighed in the ballpark of 8,000 lbs. Even after I added electric over hydraulic brakes it was never comfortable, I could always feel the length and weight of that trailer behind the comparatively smaller and lighter truck. After one summer I upgraded to an F250 diesel that was a dramatic improvement despite being a less powerful truck.
