Travel trailer

[JasonL83]

Good day,

My family and I (4 of us) just got back from a camping trip. We rented a travel trailer that was already set up at the site (didn't need to tow it). We had a really good time and the kids said they enjoyed camping more than our recent trip to Universal studios.

This trip got my wife and I thinking about getting our own travel trailer. Unfortunately, this wasn't a concern when I bought my Gladiator.

My question is this: I have a 2022 Gladiator Sport with Altitude package (not high Altitude) and regular towing package (not max). It's an automatic with a payload capacity of 1070lbs per the stickeron the door jam. Per the owners manual, I have a towing capacity of of 6000lbs. Ideally, we would all be able to ride in one vehicle and store our gear, or a much as possible in the camper. Do you think a camper with the specs below would be pushing my truck to close to is limits?

If so, do you have any other recommendations? I would rather not go with a pop up.

thanks!

That is about as heavy as I'd want to go towing with any Gladiator. It would workout fine for short weekend trips. Longer cross country trips would not be very fun. I personally would not tow a camper with my Gladiator unless my other tow vehicle broke down. It's just not the best choice.

Rubicon with 4" lift on 37s with 4.88s here. I occasionally tow a 16' double axle car hauler (with brakes) with a compact tractor with a total weight of somewhere around 4700lbs. It actually pulls pretty well. I only pull about 3.5 hours though. I wouldn't want to pull it across the mountains.

Where will you travel with it? Your truck will whine and use fuel.
