1800 miles round trip with the diesel gladiator and nucamp 400. Little truck had no trouble with the camper. Fuel consumption was 14 to 15 mpg, at 65 mph. All in all I’m happy with it

Very nice looks like the perfect size to tow with a Gladiator.

What is the weight of the camper? Looks like a great set up.

Not Bad at all!
I really miss my '21 Diesel, I got tired of waiting for a fix to the HPFP recall with the odometer showing 47,000 miles in 2023. I was concerned I would be stranded if my 3.0 quit while I was out and about.
My major event was when I towed my Casita from Florida to Alaska by way of Rice, TX (where I picked up my Casita), Yellowstone, Monument Valley, and the "Steam Up" event (13 antique steam locomotives) in Carson City, NV.
I got my fourth windshield in Montana before I crossed into Canada. The first three were in Florida from road construction debris in the Tampa area.
Overall, on my 14,000-mile journey I got 17 MPG. I didn't exceed 63MPG!
I used the car wash when i arrived in Tok to clean the Jeep and Trailer.
I used my Garmin GPS, once I departed British Columbia my SirusXM was seldom recieved.

I don't believe that the max tow was offered in the diesel. Tow package yes but not max tow.

It’s a 2022 Jeep gladiator overland with eco diesel in it. I bought it used. It has the next package up with the overland. Can’t remember what they call it.
The trailer from what I have read weighs in around 3000lb tongue weight is a little over 400 lb.
I wanted the eco diesel because I have 2 more. One in a 2015 Ram 1500 and one in a jeep grand Cherokee 2015. They both have held up really good. The Ram has 150000 miles on it with no problem after delete

That’s a good looking setup grumpy. I’m planning on West Coast trip and Alaska trip. Hopefully one or the other this year

The Casita towed great!
The only problem I had was a loose screw on one of the shades popped out and the furnace grill popped a screw. My fridge stayed at 38 degrees and the freezer was below Zero. I monitored the temps with a wireless thermometer that I could view on my dash. I found it on AMAZON.
