Does anyone know what the Gladiator will have over the JLU that allows it to tow twice as much weight? The JLU & Gladiator are close to the same weight, is it the extra length?
Based on the undercarriage spy shots, it utilizes the same rear axle/suspension setup as the Ram 1500s.

These all look great! I was hoping for a competitive Midsize Truck from them. Don't know enough about a jeep Diesel. Anybody have any kind of specs on it? I'm guessing I'd get a lot more torque out of it than the 3.6 but trying to figure out why some would rather go Gas than diesel other than cheaper at the pump.

Is there any info on the ground clearance & approach/breakover/departure angles? Different thread perhaps? Haven’t been able to find it with searches.

Only guesses, as far as I've seen.

Torque. for pulling loads and pulling hills.

3.6 Pentastar gets 285HP & 260 ft/lbs torque.
3.0 Ecodiesel to get 260 hp, but 442 ft/lbs of torque.

Anyone planning on taking the heavy vehicle tax deduction for their Gladiator? Based on the numbers, it looks like it qualifies.

If you use your Gladiator for business-related purposes, sure. I'm sure I could if I want to.

Absolutely. All you need is 6000 GVWR and this qualifies. I think the Chevy Colorado and the GMC Canyon come in at 6005?

I believe that's from the Section179 site and it's dated. For 2018 the GM twins changed to a GVWR of 6001lbs with the 2018 tax changes. Those changes basically making the restriction of bed length a non-issue for the 100% write off. Hence why I'm here and looking to unload my 240in Chevy Silverado.

Its the list I've seen on multiple sites, dated since 2018. I guess as long as the loaded GVWR is over 6000lbs and printed on something I can show my accountant I'm good.

You can/should also be able to write off the interest on the loan on the vehicle as well. :movember:

GVWR of the GMC Canyon is only 5800 #.

Nope - I’m not gonna keep mileage logs for 5 years, and I’m definitely not gonna restrict the useage of my fun truck to business-only...
