Yea those are the additional shooting for. I will seek out the most truck I can get but keep it in my price range. I don't want to get into a deal of paying more than I am comfortable monthly just to say I have a more fancy truck. To me its just being able to have the jeep truck even if that means I got to go sport, sport s, etc. If I keep it to $40K and put down around $10K will work for me. I currently owe $18,500 on my 2017 Ram 1500 Longhorn which is in excellent condition and 40K miles. I haven't looked at Blue Book value yet so maybe can sell it outright or work a deal of sorts. Will see.
If you get anywhere near 7,000 lbs. behind a JT you’re not going to be worried about that 650 lbs. I can assure you. As someone who spent yesrs towing goosenecks loaded with steel all over the southeast, boats, loaded trailers with equipment well-beyond safe max with pickup trucks, trust me...You get more than 6,000 lbs. behind a JT with a V6, you’re not going to want to go any heavier...I promise.
I tow a lot and have towed vehicles with the Gladiator myself. Most recently was about 6,000lbs (pic attached)...had the cruise control on and got about 15mpg. I have a 2012 JKUR that weighs approx 5,300, my trailer 1,400lbs...if I had bought a max tow that would change a 95% tow weight (with my JTR) to an 87% tow weight (with a Max Tow)....and every % matters with mid-trucks and V6's. For further reference if we were able to grow that Max Tow the same 8% in its favor the truck would be rated at an impressive 8,300lbs towing capacity. In other words...the numbers do matter.If you get anywhere near 7,000 lbs. behind a JT you’re not going to be worried about that 650 lbs. I can assure you.

I owned a 23’ wakeboard boat that weighed in at 6,500 lbs. with the trailer... And I still knew it was behind my 2500 Cummins with 600 HP & 1100 lbs.ft. TQ.
If you don’t believe me, you’ve never really towed anything. Go hook up 7,000 lbs. behind your JT and video your 0-60 times, and how hard your Jeep will be running to pull that much weight.
Evperyone is always proudly proclaiming that extra 660 lbs. towing capacity the Max Tow has over the Rubicon... But let’s see it in action... I bet money we never will.
Not really interested in what you’re buying.
Whatever you say slick... It’s your story, you tell it like you want.
Facts are hard to understand.....in Alabama.
“And so I said to him...“The truth IS what I say it is!”...”
As tho "slick" wasn't intended to be disparaging. Or attempting to call me a liar, ignorant or whatever it was you so terribly worded up there.“And so I said to him...“The truth IS what I say it is!”...”
It always gets laughable when the personal attacks start. Hahaha!
