I recently drove my hemi powered Rubicon from Atlanta to San Antonio with the wife and dog. Nothing real exciting as it was all highway, but I thought I would post up some impressions. We did it over two days stopping in Baton Rogue for the night which is about half way. My state of residence is Texas, but I am doing some work in Georgia.
Build: 6.4L hemi, Ram 8 speed auto, 2” Mopar lift, 37/13.50-20 tires on 20x10 rims
Miles driven: 1,050
Average speed: 68mph (10mph in traffic to 92mph passing a truck)
Ideal speed: 75mph at 2000rpm (seemed to really like this speed)
Average MPG: 14.7
Other Gladiators spotted: 1 red with soft top just west of Baton Rouge heading east on interstate 10 at about 8:00am Thursday morning
Other Jeeps spotted: 100’s all over the place!
Wife best comment: “Hey this thing drives a lot better than it looks!” (Typical)
Dog best comment: None, he can’t talk, but he loved having his bed on top of the back seats with the seats down so he could sit up high and observe everything around him.
My feedback: Fantastic, comfortable, powerful and easy to drive - love it!
We drive back on Sunday.
