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

[Orange01z28]

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!

This is my situation exactly

For both...I wanted a truck, a Jeep and I tow.

I also have a Wrangler and I had been wanting a Brute for many years and couldn't wait to have Jeep make one.


If they made a full size Gladiator I'd get that.

Full-size gladiator w a v8 or turbo v6, now your talking! Could this be a “Grand Gladiator” in the works? I’d be so down!

Jeep with a bed. Don't have any tow needs yet, and didn't really want a full-size with the size of them and the size of the trails in CO these days. Now that I've had my first Jeep, if I ever do need a real towing truck I'll just trade up to one and get a 2 door Wrangler for the fun stuff.

I got it for both factors. I know the Max Tow factor has been beaten to death but with it I can carry more with the bed with the Max Tow than a Wrangler. Kinda like a cooler looking reverse mullet, Party in the Front, Business in the back.

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!

I've always wanted a truck and a Wrangler. Best of both worlds. It hauls what I need it to. Trip to the dump, not a problem. Some 2x4s, not a problem. Fishing poles all set up, not a problem. I'd like to get a fishing boat and tow that. Plus towing rented lawn equipment that I need periodically like an aerator. It's not a farm truck, but I don't live on a farm anymore either.

Jeep with a bed.
I had a Wrangler before it.
I take the roof and doors off every chance I get.
If I just needed a truck it probably would have been something very different.

TOWING. I would actually prefer an SUV style a bit larger than the JL with towing capability.

Great topic . . . would make a good poll

Bed, had a Tacoma wanted something more capable though, use the deb for truck stuff and for the game I bag out hunting.

Jeep with a bed!

I always wished to be cool enough to Jeep a Jeep, but I needed a truck bed for haulin, movin, campin, home projects and the like.

I had a decent and loaded up Colorado before this, but when the pandemic hit and job went remote, well, gas mileage was no longer a concern, and fun became the go-to reason.

85% for the bed and 15% for the towing. Looking at a 19' travel trailer now that I can tow more than my '16 JKU.

Having a bed to use in off-road situations. I have a F-350 to tow the house if I want to...
