Just bought a new 25 Rubicon JT. Pick it up Thursday. Have owned Jeeps since 1980. Currently have an ‘83 ‘8. Have owned it since April of 99. Gonna tow the JT now behind our motorhome instead of the 8. Other than when we are going to Scrambler events. If you have been to the GSM Jeep Invasion you may have seen me.

Hi !
in Europe, Stellantis imported only during a few years (2022/23/24) only the Diesel. And very few campers are compatible with the payload except, maybe the Scout TukTut (not available in France, but in Germany, expensive and underequiped) and the turkish Hotomobil Gladiator S :
https://getoffer.hotomobil.com/
Its commercial name "gladiator" is a coincidence ! weight : 525kg (empty)
I have a set of Clayton heavy duty springs, lift up 2.5', with OEM shocks, the springs are perfect but my shocks are too weak, I already ordered 4 Falcon SP2 shocks, not yet installed.
Have a nice day !

HI JH42! I am Jose, from Spain.
I have a Jeep Gladiator Overland and the payload is 565 kg. I found a camper Gladiator S high isolation and It's awesome but the weight is 490 kg. with the water deposit empty... So, If my weight is 75 kg. I' m over the weight if my girlfriend is with me or the water deposit gets with some water. How do you drive with this overweright? Did you have problems with the police for it? I am thinking of adding payload with a engineer and be sure I will not have problems with insurance, if I have an accident or police stops me.
What's your tip having this camper?
Cheers!
Jose

Scrolling around and I realized I never introduced myself. Here is my 2025 Gladiator. We are in NE Ohio. Need make a few changes to the Jeep then it will be ready for some trail rides and camping trips. Currently getting ready for this east coast snow storm

Hey all! Just want to say I’ve joined the gladiator group yesterday. Traded my ram in on a 2025 Rubicon X.

Not new to Jeeps, I’ve grown up with them and have a 2012 JK I use for camping and off-roading.

I plan to turn this Gladiator into my weekend warrior camping rig so I’ll be checking here constantly looking at things to do.

Hello from the Front Range of Colorado!
I just joined the club on Saturday 1/31/26
Picked up this 2020 Gladiator Rubicon w/ 22k miles on the clock. This is my first Jeep, so I'm looking forward to seeing what all I can learn in the forums.

Already posted earlier, but here is a pic of the JT I took this morning while stopping to admire this original JT at a restored gas station near my house...

Hello everyone,

I joined the JT family back in December when I traded in my 2020 Ram 2500 Laramie for this 2022 Rubi. This is the 5th Jeep Ive owned going back to my first ('94 YJ) but is my first JT. I also owned an '01 TJ Sport, '04 TJ Rubi and my wife most recently had a JLU 4Xe that was crushed by a tree during hurricane Helene. Ive done a little minor tinkering already but hoping to gain a few more ideas. First and foremost, pin down a wheel and tire package to get this thing back on 17s or 18s. See ya'll around.
