So, what is everybody towing?

[ShadowsPapa]

Maiden voyage. Pulled it around 170 miles in a 20+ mph crosswind. Pulled decent. Trailer is probably around 4900 pounds. May look into stiffer springs (Overland are soft) and LT rated tires.

Thanks for that pic and post. Gives me hope for my own Overland. I had CRAPPY experience hauling an EMPTY 1600 pound flat bed car hauler last winter. The truck STRUGGLED and the transmission hunted to no end. But you are pulling the same weight I'd expect with my trailer and a 3200 pound car on it. (and I'd have a lower profile with a car on an aluminum car hauler that sits pretty low)
I put Sport S max tow springs under the rear of my overland. Helps prevent the soft feel. Still rides very nice, but is more firm and you do have a bit more road feel - still, it's comfortable and it is a truck, afterall.

Your rig sure LOOKS NICE and sits so nice and level. Just a perfect straight line!
FCA should buy that photo from you for their marketing flyers.

That is GCM with a bit of Mcguires gold. The wheels are Fuel 20x10 with Nitto 37/13.50-20 and the Mopar lift.

Sorry what is GCM?

Here is what lives behind my Gladiator.

That is an Off Grid Trailers Expedition 2.0. It will go any where my JT (or my old JKUR) will go. It has 21" of ground clearance (on the stock 32" tires, I've replaced those with 35s), 50° departure angle, weighs 1700lbs empty (it is all aluminum besides the steel frame) and has a fridge, sink, stove, on demand hot water shower and carries 31 gallons of fresh water.
