Hi Deanmay, you will have no issues towing 3K pounds. I upgraded my camper to a 32’ 6K dry weight. I just did a 2,500 miles trip to Tennessee towing our new camper. The Jeep Gladiator handles the mountains like a champ. It amazes me what the Gladiator is able to handle. Thanks for watching and for your comment. Cheers, JC.

I have a 2023 Jeep Gladiator Overland, it has the 3.6 V6 it also has the 8 speed transmission, I changed out the stock air filter with the K&N air filter and I got a noticeable difference in horsepower and milage my Jeep not only tows better at a lower rpm but my mileage increased dramatically. I hope this helps everyone.

@Ultracon2 ай бұрын
Hi Overlandski, No issues. I did have a 2.5" lift bumps. This helps since it does sag a little in the rear when towing. OEM shocks and springs. I towed the GeoPro 10,210 miles with the Wrangler. I now have a Gladiator and we finally upgraded our camper to a Cruise Lite 263BHXL. I did install SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs on the Rear axle of the Gladiator. I would strongly suggest this to you. I wish I would have known this with my Wrangler. We had our GeoPro G19BH for almost 4 years. Zero issues with this camper. We loved it and miss it. We had to upgrade our camper when family and friends came with us. Let me know what you end up doing. Thanks for watching and your question. Cheers, JC

@Ultracon2 ай бұрын
Hi LeslinAdventures, Thank you. It's handling the new camper like a champ. I learned my Gladiator can tow 6500 lbs. The camper is 5800 lbs. I did add SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs in the Rear Axle of the Jeep. This eliminates sagging in the rear of the Jeep and improves the handling of the Jeep. We picked up our new camper on the way to Daytona for Jeep Beach just under 300 miles away. The double axle on the camper definitely helps the tow. I use the stabilizer / Swade bars system and a brake control for the brakes on the camper. Yeah, I can't believe how long this new camper is. I've taken out the new camper 4 times already. (I'm behind on KZfaq videos.) I'm still getting used to how long the new camper is. But, Wow! there is so much room in our new camper. we love it! We do miss our little Geo Pro. However, this is what we need when friends and family come along with us. I feel confident the Jeep will handle just fine on our long trip coming up at the end of July. Hey, thanks for watching and congratulating us. Stay tune for adventures in our new camper and I've upgraded the bumper on my Jeep. I finally installed a winch on the Jeep. I can now pull myself out of almost anything. Cheers, JC

HI prodigalsonharrison5377, My Gladiator is rated to tow 6500 lbs. Our Forest River 263BHLXL dry weight is 5800 lbs. We travel light. I use a stabilizer bar system along with a brake control. I also installed SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs on the Gladiator to reduce sag on the rear and help stabilize the Gladiator. The Gladiator tows this camper with no issues. Even when semi trucks pass me on the highway, I bearly feel them. I leave my transition on automatic. I drive nice and easy and don't exceed 60 MPH on the highway.

@@prodigalsonharrison5377 You have the perfect half-ton full-size pickup truck. The GD 17 MKE looks solid. I love the interior light color for the finishes. It has a modern European finish look. it reminds me of Lance's 1995 Travel Trailer. If you plan on going off the grid you may want to looking into the No Boundaries like the NB19.6. NB is a brother of the Geo Pro. We had our Geo Pro for almost 4 years. It was a solid camper. We never had an issue with it. We traveled with it for around 11,000 miles. I believe Grand Design is extending the warranty to 5 years now. It's not easy finding a camper. Let me know what you end up getting. Cheers, JC

Did you install the class 2 Mopar receiver?
@Ultracon2 ай бұрын
I don't know if it's a class 2. But, yes I purchased it in a Jeep dealer. I had to go back and pick it up a few days later because they did not have in stock at the dealer at the time. I originally purchased this receiver just to carry two bicycles. When I saw I can purchase the receiver for half of what I paid at the dealer online. I felt like a fool. However, when we got the camper. I felt good that it's an Mopar part. When I purchased the receiver. I never imagined I was going to be towing a camper trailer. If you are thinking of installing a brake control in your Jeep. The only downside is that since the brake control sits by your knees, you will hit it often. But I benefited from this when I change vehicles I'm using the same brake control in my new Gladiator. If you are going to keep your Jeep for a while I suggest to get the Mopar that you place on your dashboard permanently. JC

DO NOT BUY the hardcover tri-fold for second gen Tacoma's the mounting hardware used on the accessories rails is trash. It doesn't let the rail sit low enough. All other trucks it's good and mounted properly. For tacoma's, it doesn't sit right and it's not secure. A serious risk of it getting sucked off your truck while driving. On top of that, it doesn't seal well enough to keep water out. It is also not secure and can be easily opened even when the tailgate is closed. Buy a different brand/design.

You made a very nice video, and it cleared up a few things. One thing that I noticed was they must have changed the hardware, and added 3 clamps per side, to clamp the side rail to the bed rail. I'm wondering if some people had trouble with the cover blowing off while driving with it open.

Hi buckhornlodge, that is interesting to know. I often need to take out the cover to transport large items. There have been a few times I don't tighten the front clamps because I'm in a hurry and don't claim into the truck bed till a couple days later. The cover did not move any of these times. Going forward I'll make sure to tighten all clamps. Also, I don't really tighten the claims. I just leave the bold knob snug. It makes it easier when removing the cover next time.
