What size is the box trailer, 16'?

This thread makes me want to get a trailer for my 26 foot Scout and tow it to the keys with my gladiator. Just towed a 6000 plus pound trailer this weekend with no issues at all. Used a weight distribution hitch though.

Hey guys & gals.

Just wanted to share my findings while towing the absolute limit with 35s.

For research purposes, and a good laugh, I decided to pull my brothers 24ft Cobia with my Overland. The boat itself of about 4500lbs, trailer 1000lbs, gear and people about 1000lbs or more, total about 6500lbs.

Only towed about 10 minutes up the road but the gladiator did surprisingly well. Unloaded and loaded with ease. I was quite shocked with how easy it was pulling it out of the landing in 2wd, the rpms never went over 3500.

I would definitely recommend some heavy duty shocks though..

The manufacture capacity limits are what the manufacture feels safe with, it is not the limit of what you can overload the recommended specs.

All the hype about 4.10 gearing. If all of you did your homework there is only 200 RPM difference between a 4.10 and a 3.73
I mean these things already have no power and get crappy mileage anyways haha

Given the correct 33" tire size, at 4500rpm with a 4.10 gives you 107mph. To get the same speed with a 3.73 you need 4100rpm. That's 400rpm difference, basically another gear. I'm betting the added "oomph" with the 4.10s makes a greater difference.

2020 overland with: Rubi axles takeoffs (4.10), Rubi shocks and springs, Firestone airbags at 48 PSI, Redarc brake controller. Rides like a dream with no problem stopping. Almost a full day getting everything balanced and level. Trip so far with both Jeep's; Jeep Jamboree in SD. then over to Yellowstone (3800 Miles), Jeep Jamboree Ouray CO. (2800 Miles), Jeep Jamboree Arch Canyon Ut.
(3200 Miles) and Jeep Jamboree Llano TX (600 Miles). Spend the time getting the set-up dialed in, we spent our first week with the set-up doing all our errands around town!!! Could use a little more power in the mountains in CO.

They have almost 45k on them and a lot of tread left and Iā€™m hard on tires. They donā€™t ride rougher if you keep the PSI down. I run them 34-35 PSI
thanks! I was looking HARD at those for a while. Ended up with firestone destination ATs and im pleased. But i always wonder what if..

Iā€™ve had those too. Theyā€™re decent tires for the money. I do prefer the Revos though.
