What questions would you ask someone who is currently "media reviewing" a JT?

[Crableg85]

He answers that in this thread:

• crableg85
  How tall are you did you fit ok in the driver's seat? I'm 5'11 and 300 lbs wondering if this will be to small
• seanpholman
  @crableg85 I’m 5’9, 220 and have seen people as much as 6’3 and 350 fit fine.

I believe crableg85 is on our little forum here.

I sure am

Ah so I'm guessing it actually does suck for tall / big people. I'll have to wait until I can actually sit in one (the car show by me only had one JT on a pedestal. You couldn't go in it), but that's a little disappointing

Disappointing that someone 6'3" 350 lbs can fit fine?

Nope, I'm dumb and can't read. I clicked the Instagram link, saw the question, and saw his reply to try the Ram instead without expanding the replied. So I figured he was answering question about the big guy trying to fit and kicking him over to another car. It's early, I'm tired haha

Try coffee, may help, no guarantee

Ok, gotcha. I thought Bangolia was talking about all of the Gladiators that are out there for sale only to FCA employees. My bad.

ditto.

This question may have to wait for diesel availability but:

If you’re typically towing, say, 5000 pounds or so, would you opt for the published better towing numbers with the Pentastar or go with the Eco Diesel with lower towing numbers but vastly more torque?

The diesel shouldn't be too much lower than the V6 (-500 lbs IIRC). Depends on where you're towing, I suppose.

That’s what I’m thinking. I am towing right at 5000 pounds but I’m typically in the Utah/Colorado mountains well above 8000 feet. I think waiting for the diesel with the turbo will be my best bet. I’ve been towing with a 5.3 Chevy V8 and I’m afraid the Pentastar will be too much of a downgrade in power.

FCA. Please hurry with the diesel. : )

I'm hoping that straight 6 turbo that article said they were working on gets put into the gladiator . I would love to see what it can do with the truck setup .
