RUBBINCOINS
My 2011 Silverado was an extended cab, 6'6" box. It was about 6" wider and several inches longer. I literally measured to be sure I was comparing and the specs were correct. But when it came time to park my JT - THAT is when I realized, at least to me, in my perspective, THANKFULLY the JT was quite a bit smaller than that Chevy was. That Chevy was a long boat. But inside - even my son and daughter-in-law commented about the better seating in the back of the JT. But then - straight walls, thinner walls of the JT make it that way, the Chevy "bulged out" on the sides.
Yeah it's about half a foot shorter and half a foot skinnier than my Dodge. Doesn't sound like much, but it will really count in tight spots. I have to park offset in my garage by about 6" from the door right now. I'll still do something close to that but can't wait to gain more space on both sides.
I bought my Max Tow explicitly as a tow vehicle for my 23’ Airstream which can be used to do fun stuff once you get at the destination. I didn’t want a full size truck or SUV and mid-sized SUVs have anemic payload.No one would buy a JT just as a tow vehicle. It a small truck. It can tow and can haul and can go where Id NEVER EVER EVER take the F250 but its not a tow vehicle. Really I got a JT to replace my old MJ which will be restored eventually. The MJ is shorter and far lighter plus very stiff chassis. The JT has better rear axle location and its easier to remove the doors
Wonder what gave you the idea it could handle that much trailer?? ... Oh yeah. This did.
Was it a sport hood with Rubicon or did he pick up a Rubicon hood?
You failed in your comparisons. If you're going to compare sizes, you have to compare the same build style. Meaning you have to compare to Crew Cab sizes, not regular cab.
I made a point of this advertisement in some other towing thread and some people did not understand the point. If I'm right, that's an Overland towing an Airstream Flying Cloud 28RB that comes in at 6100# dry, 7600# max carrying capacity.Wonder what gave you the idea it could handle that much trailer?? ... Oh yeah. This did.
I still wouldn't personally use it for this, but go for it if you like it and feel safe doing so.
I think the Overland's towing capacity must be around 6000#. Must be a gutted 28RB
6,000
Maybe the hood was a replacement from a Rubi????
lol yeah I do remember that and the ensuing discussion. It's exactly why I put this pic up and the pic is exactly why people think this is a normal expectation of the JT.
Well that’s the point whether towing with a gladiator Max Tow (just for the haters) or my Diesel 1 Ton, no land speed records need to be set. 65mph is my max speed for towing and the Max Tow Gladiator does a great job for the mid-size truck segment.
Oh... I thought you were serious.
