Curb weight for JT Rubi auto ~5072lbNo, far from it. I have no idea where you are getting your numbers.
I just came accross this. I have a ROV 173RBRV. Haven't towed it with my Gladiator yet. Waiting for spring. I picked up a Max Tow last month. Coming from a 2010 Tacoma. I'm pretty happy to see your report towing it. Do you need tow mirrors or are the stock mirrors ok?It's a 2018 Keystone Passport 170RK or 170RKRV (same thing). It's also sold under the R-Pod name, identical except for an upgraded fridge and stove, but much more expensive. It's 3k dry, around 3500 calculated full weight, possibly a little more with a heavy load. There's a queen bed up front and the dining converts to a smaller bed. Wet head and decent sized kitchen.
The weight distribution is absolutely necessary for a Wrangler, and really, on the JT you should have it too. The Gladiator pulls it SO SO well. Just awesome. My first trip with the JT and this trailer was from Phoenix to a shooting area North of Barstow CA. Lots of mountains, lots of road time. The pull was fantastic, and the adaptive cruise did such a perfect job it was so relaxing to drive for hours.
I hate towing without the tow mirrors, but have done it. You can buy some inexpensive add-on mirrors and there's a guy selling an adapter here on the forum. None of them seem to work without the adapters.Do you need tow mirrors or are the stock mirrors ok?
mirrors are critical especially on something like the JT with the terrible mirrors it has.I just came accross this. I have a ROV 173RBRV. Haven't towed it with my Gladiator yet. Waiting for spring.

Wait what? Nobody told me my JT has terrible mirrors. Good to know. I'll try to remember to hate them next time I drive it.JT with the terrible mirrors it has.
Never liked the mirror shape on Wrangler's honestly, and when they made it into a truck with the towing capacity it has I kind of expected they would go something at least more truck like. Nothing crazy like bigger trucks, but something. I get they wanted to keep the look but would have much rather had something that works. Also just my hatred because they connect to the doors. Honestly while I have joined in on some other "issues" people call out on the JT this is the one I really feel like they got lazy with and just made it the same as the JL.Wait what?

I do keep thinking about putting a camera on the back of the trailer, but not spending a few hundred for it. Maybe for something larger I would. For a small trailer it would just be nice to have. I've looked into the possibility of adding it into the JT's head unit as if it were a Ram cargo camera, but can't figure out if that's possible when you also have the trailcam.
