Did you buy your JT because of the bed or for towing???

[Hawkeyes3312]

I am on this forum daily and I wanted to get a sense of what 'aspect' of the JT is most important to you. I am only giving you TWO choices to comment on, either the fact that it's a Jeep with a bed or because you plan to tow with it? You cannot comment on both, you must choose only one feature to keep.

Please save unrelated chatter for another thread. Personally, I wanted a "Wrangler with a bed' for the convenience of hauling 'stuff' as opposed to any towing capability. In the 15 months I've owned the JT, the bed has just made my life easier!

Thanks!

100% Jeep with a bed. It is so simple to haul shit now. If I was towing regularly I wouldn’t have even considered a mid-size truck. I tow 0% of the time, so my choice to go Gladiator was easy!

Bed for overland use, and ability to haul more/easier then my JKUR can, RTT will be below the roof line to save on gas mileage cant do that with JKUR.

Jeep with a bed, hauling camping gear & kayaks. Went sport with a 6-speed for a max payload. Now paying the recall price as my ordered gladiator may or may not have been delivered to the dealer.

Towing, but mostly a DD for the wife. My Ram 1500 is my primary tow vehicle, but I needed something that can also tow my bass boat. This way I can tow our travel trailer and the wife can tow the boat, and I'm not spending extra hours driving back and forth to the lake to get both trailer and boat there, and home. Plus if my Ram needs service I won't miss a fishing tournament.

Both, but won't have to use my utility trailer as much, now.

Definitely wanted a Jeep but have missed my truck since I sold it several years ago. It’s the best of both worlds. It’s as fun/cool as my mustang GT was. But as practical to my needs as my F-150 was. Fun and utility in one!

Mainly towing, but the bed is an added bonus. If the JLU/JK had the same towing capacity as the JT I would have had one for the last 15 years....

Both. We drive back and forth between San Antonio and NY. Usually, the bed is sufficient, but the towing capacity comes in handy regularly for towing one of our other vehicles.

Jeep with a bed and I plan on doing some towing which is why I opted for the Max Tow so both. It's tough getting floor equipment in and out of a 4 door wrangler and they ain't the best for towing a trailer either.

That's was our deciding factor. If the JLU could comfortably tow 5000+ we'd have bought one. And my wife refuses to drive anything that you can't take the doors and top off. So, JT it is!

The bed.
I bought it primarily to use as a toad, and I want to put a small motorcycle in the back when it’s a toad.

Tow for a boat.
