So some of this will be personal opinions, and depending on the cost to do so, but hoping to get some thoughts. I have a Sport S I leased last summer. It's not our daily drive. Leased with the intent of just using to do some LIGHT off-roading (it is leased...), use of a truck bed for occasionally hauling stuff, and eventually getting a camper for occasional camping trips. So for reasons too long to explain, we ended up purchasing a trailer larger than we planned in Oct.
I have the tow package. Trailer loaded as we usually travel is turning out to be ~5700 lbs. Tongue weight is around 500#, so slightly under the max numbers. So far it's hauled well. No sway. Pulls well at highway speeds. It's the little engine that could getting it up to speed on the freeway, but does well on relatively level terrain. We took our first trip which involved significant elevation climbs this weekend (2000' to 7500', Phoenix valley up the rim). It's rough. 45-50 mph and it's screamin'.
I don't know what it will cost me to get out of the lease, but assuming it's palatable, how much of a difference will it make going to the 4.10? We really like the Gladiator and not wanting to make a change to a larger truck.
