Mopar reveals 250 limited-production Mopar '24 Jeep Gladiator

[BlackRuby23]

My old v8 Tundra could tow a Space Shuttle. Love my Gladiator, but that little gas engine and my big tires add up to 35 mph climbing hills with my tractor in tow. More power please.

I believe in the right tool for the job. I don't believe the Gladiator is the right tool for that job. I can't tell what JD model that is, but not only do you have a loader but you have a backhoe attachment as well. It looks like, with trailer, you are over the tow rating of the Gladiator. I would never haul my JD 790 and trailer with my Gladiator. I use my Ram 3500.

For reference, my 1025R with loader, backhoe, and trailer weigh an estimated 5,200 lbs.

I see that @Mules is towing offroad and at low speeds, which is very different than towing those types of loads on the highway. I haven't towed with the Gladiator yet, so I really can't comment on its towing performance and limitations. What I can say is that I've been over the towing capacity by a good 2,000 lbs with my Ram EcoDiesel truck(s) at low-speed operation.

My 2015 EcoDiesel is a work truck. So far, it's holding up well with 122,000 miles on it.

All right, I might be towing a bit over 7,000 lbs. (oops) but I gave up my Tundra for the Gladiator. I was waiting years for a real Jeep pickup. It can handle the load on country roads but too slow for the highway. I just need a V8, please. Curious how the diesel pulled, but that’s gone also.

Back in the day I drove a Golden Eagle CJ5 with a stock V8. Way too much power for the short wheel base, but great for a long wheel base Gladiator!

I myself had a '73 CJ5 with a built 304 ci V8 and 3 speed manual. Worse, it had a 4" lift and 33" tires. No power steering, either. Squirrelly doesn't even begin to describe it. At 19 years old I would tow a 19' ski boat at 70 mph, with surge brakes. Ah, to be young with no fear.

I won't even tow 5,000 with my Gladiator. I don't consider it a tow vehicle, but a toy and runaround rig. If I absolutely had to, I'd hook something up to it, but never 7,000 lbs. No way.

It should have the new 3.0L engine too. JT's should have had the 5.7L as a option from the start.

That’s a fact. Then you’d have something for 70k.

I just don't get it . There literally is nothing special about this special except a # and some graphics and the ability to add 3500bucks for some beadlocks

June 5, 2024 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The Mopar team continues its annual, limited-production, factory-vehicle customization program with a new special-edition model.

Other low-volume, factory-produced Mopar rides have followed: the Mopar '11 Dodge Charger, Mopar '12 Chrysler 300, Mopar '13 Dodge Dart, Mopar '14 Dodge Challenger, Mopar '15 Dodge Charger R/T, Mopar '16 Ram Rebel, Mopar ’17 Dodge Challenger, Mopar ’18 Dodge Durango, Mopar ‘19 Dodge Challenger, Mopar ‘21 Ram 1500, Mopar ‘22 Durango and Mopar ‘23 Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger.

Ha what a joke. And on top what kind of person takes a black car Offroad. (Or even owns one, I can tell you it’s no one that’s owned a black car before. )
More proof that limited edition doesn’t mean special….interesting or good. Ask any launch edition folk.
