Yesterday I towed my trail-toy for the first time with my Gladiator. It towed MUCH better than my Rubicon JLU did. When I added a small lift to put the bigger tires on the Gladiator, I wanted to keep the factory "rake" to help compensate for the weight when towing. SO happy that I did that. The Jeep was perfectly level with a 1500# RZR and 900# trailer, gear, extra fuel, etc.
By comparison, the JLU wandered all over the road with this same trailer/RZR/gear. I do miss the 4:10 gears and lighter weight of the Wrangler when getting onto the freeway, but the Gladiator outshined it in every other aspect.
