Pulled my trailer full of my daughter’s school dance team in the Mt Holly Parade last night. 3rd year in a row being in the parade. Gotta love a small town parade. Reminds me of growing up outside of Mocksville

Have you towed anything with some weight with your gladiator? I like them, but I have a couple of boats and a side by side I drag around. My Tacoma doesn’t like to pull any of them. Was wondering how the jeep handled some weight. Had a buddy that hauled cars around with his, but said he didn’t like it. Just curious. Good looking jeep :beer:

That time of year. Even with the ram boxes still got 60 bags to fit.

But the internet told me you can't fit anything in the back of a rambox truck. :laughing:

My last Gladiator was a 2020 Rubicon. Also was on 37s, geared to 5:13s and did fine. I towed my Scrambler all over the place including 4 hr trips on the interstate, both my Vettes, and my father in laws GTO. My trailer is a Featherlite so that helps as well.

It’s no full size truck by any stretch but it’ll do what I need it to do. Also have factory trailer brake controller.

The 2021 above I just picked up about a month ago. I’ll also gear it 5:13s after Christmas

Mt. Holly is big time! Let's run a line of CJs in the Stanley parade next year for the real small town feels.

My Wife has towed my TJ several places with her '20 Sport S on a fairly light car trailer (1200lb), 3.73 Axles and 37's so far from ideal for the job. Total load about 5000lb.

Using a Weight Distributing hitch and a RedArc brake controller, controlling the load is no problem at all.

Performance on the other hand is not stellar. Longest trip was Windrock, about 7 hours with some hills, we let her lead and set the pace, had her watching tranny temps like a hawk, on some of the hills we'd end them at about 60mph, and the tranny temps would hit 240 degrees or so..

I think this setup will do the job for occasional towing, but if I was going to use it to tow a lot for loads over 4000lb, I'd look to something more robust.
