I have been trying to figure out what the bicker point is.
As @bgenlvtex said this is a SEMA vehicle.
The point of it is to show you what is available for the Jeep Gladiator in the Specialty equipment marketplace.
I was really getting frustrated that I even posted it.
But...now I can stop...
It is raining like crazy here. Probably be an interesting trip through the forests this weeekend.
Been pretty quiet on the PA threads. I see a bit of excitement in the New Jersey threads. And it seems the Virginians get together quite often.
Anyone been out and about...or have a trip planned.

All 4 generations of flame red RAM trucks in 2 posts.
Sure do love the flame red RAM s.
I do not habe the 4th Gen Cummins anymore...but I still have the 2nd Gen.
I really like the 2020
Got a load of firewood to split. And we got some measurable snow this morning.
Regular camping season is over. Sure wish I could get out to the forest...but the honey do list has grown from all the weeekends we blew it off to go camping.
Hope to get some trail time soon. Maybe hit a campsite...
I have been pondering the argument here in this thread.
I have lived in Central PA for 43 years. When I was a child most all of the land around my hometown was a strip mine at sone point. My earliest recollections of the land use argument come from about 7 years old.
From 7 years old til I...
Here is a CAT scale slip of my truck with a load of wood.
Notice how most of the weight goes to the rear.
My truck. 10000 GVWR 2998 payload. 7002 base weight
Front GAWR 5500
Base. 4201
Rear GAWR 6000
Base. 2800
Hope this helps. Or atleast shows a point of view.
If you notice your axle ratings add up to 8000lbs
There are components other than the axles that make the 7100lb GVWR.
For instance. A 4th Gen RAM has a 6900lb GVWR. For the 5th Gen they gave RAM 1500 6 lugs and bigger brakes. And a GVWR of 7100.
@WannFly if you already have this info I will stop...but here are some more tidbits.
RAM trucks have almost a 60/40 weight distribution empty.
So your base weight of 5607 means
Front axle. GAWR is 3900
base is. 3364
Rear axle. GAWR is 4100
Base...
Your Gross weight rating is 6200...the RAM 7100.
Your truck weighs much less and therefore can carry up to its gross weight about the same.
Ultimately in an overload situation...where say you both would load to 1600lbs...the RAM (or fullsize chevy) will control it better.
7100 minus 1493 =...
@WannFly your truck is actually above average for payload. Remember. 1/2 ton =1000lbs.
We have a laramie Longhorn that has 1069 for Payload. And then the MFT(multifunction tailgate) came along and there is a member with just over 900lbs.
Alot of the 4th Gen Rebels only have about 800lbs...
A powerwagon fully loaded will have a payload of 1100 lbs.
A diesel 2500 Limited will have a payload of less than1800lbs.
If you are building out a truck you really need to start with a tradesman trim. But I can understand the need for comfort. Although my TRADESMAN HeftyDuty is pretty...
