Jeep with a bed for sure. Thankfully I have an Expedition with the 3.5 ecoboost for my towing needs (Jon boat, duck boat, enclosed trailer, smoker..nothing too crazy) because frankly I just don't think that my Gladiator handles towing duties very well - especially on the highway.

Towing. Always wanted and got a travel trailer, always had a 16ft trailer I use for all of my true hauling. Used to pull it with the van, but with the JT can actually use the trailer to its capacity.

My family calls the bed the "trunk" I have a diamondback HD on there and use it as a trunk. Game changer for doors off situations since I can carry thinks unlike a wrangler that has no room in that situation. The bed is so short I have hauled more things in the minivan than the JT due to weather or just overall length.

Mostly Jeep with a bed, but having more tow capacity was also a push over factor in buying one as the Wrangler is pretty limited.

Both, what I didn't buy the jeep for was off roading.

Bed #1 but it's nice to have the higher tow capacity vs. a JL - just in case.

Both. Plus I can actually haul my parents, and the dog without anyone complaining about not having room.

The bed. I was debating between a Silverado and the Jeep - I decided I wanted the convertible and the smaller footprint. I don't haul often but it's very nice when I do. Can't wait for my first full spring/summer to have the top off.

The bed. I needed a truck. This was it.

Jeep with a bed. The towing capacity is just a perk. It's nice to be able to tow another car/suv on a car trailer and not be over the rating the once a year I need to do so.

Bed to haul my kayak and other fishing gear as well as just general hauling things around the house and the weekend home. Might do a little towing with it down the line but nothing in the plans right now. If I would have been doing major hauling I would have just tuck with the 1500
