Gladiator Tow Thread

[MericaMade]

Sort of, but not really. My Gladiator stickered for $63,497. I was very close to getting a Raptor mega cab (whatever they call the bigger cab truck) and my local Ford dealer had three on the lot. One was pretty basic and had a sticker of $58k and change. It didn’t have the keyless touch and go door handles, no push button start, and didn’t have the technology package. Was missing a lot of what I wanted in a Raptor. The other two were pretty well equipped trucks that had a sticker price of $78k and $76k. Both had nice options, dual panoramic sunroof, the expensive Raptor decals, and one had the fancy tailgate step. I paid under MSRP for my Gladiator, but you’d be hard pressed to find a similar deal on a new Raptor. For its have cost me $20k more for a Raptor with comparable options to my Gladiator.

Good info thank you. I haven't even bothered to look a JT but I am going to take a look. So a JT is capable off towing a JKU on a flatbed comfortably?

This thread is 12 pages long of reasons why that’s probably not a good idea.

An unmodified stock JKU on a light weight trailer, sure. But who wants to tow that. As soon as you build up a Jeep and push 6k, it’s too heavy.

I pondered it before I bought my Ram. There was just way too much potential to start another build on that platform. I don’t think I would have left it stock for long and that would have cut into the Jeep budget

I'm with you there. My buddies have a lot of money in their Raptors as well. I have a lot I want to do to my jeep still and can see the Raptor sucking some of that up.
