Thought I had posted this before, apologies if I did. Don't think I exceeded my tow capacity with this. When I had the Commander, I needed this to haul our camping stuff. Now it's moving on to a friend.

Just did a 1550 mile round trip tow from home to VIR with my track car. First long tow with the Gladiator. It did fine. The trans gets a workout from 5th-8th but it shifts so seamlessly that you don't really notice it. Certainly don't want to put a loud exhaust in it.... DIC showed 13.2 MPG for the trip home.

First tow, just putting the boat away for winter. 23' Monterey deck boat, about 5300lbs. Towed fine, spent a decent amount of time in 5th when on the hills. We traded a hemi Durango for the Gladiator and while the power difference is obvious-Durango probably would've stayed in 6th on the hills, I like the feel of the truck better. Longer wheelbase, full frame. Will definitely look into cameras and or mirrors before next summer. I have a 1" teraflex spacer in front, have 3/4" for the rear but haven't installed, squat didn't look too bad but may think about doing something in the rear.

Towed well through the ice and snow of western Colorado and Utah! 2500 troublefree miles loaded with two mule deer hunters and all of our stuff for 10 days (and two bucks for the trip home!)

But from those tire tracks one might believe you were having fun spinning donuts on the ice and snow. I'm sure there's a totally different, absolutely logical explanation, though.

Yep, 21rd! I was impressed with the insulation, as well as how it towed and handled.
