Towing it behind an RV?
Can you flat tow a Gladiator?
Every Gladiator uses a two-speed transfer case (Command-Trac or Rock-Trac) with a Neutral position, so it can be flat towed with all four wheels down.
Flat towing a Jeep, model by modelWhat the numbers mean
- Max trailer
- The heaviest trailer the configuration is rated to pull, with the right hitch and the vehicle carrying only a driver. Every passenger and every pound of cargo comes off it.
- Payload
- What the vehicle can carry inside and in the bed, including people and the trailer's tongue or pin weight. It is GVWR minus the vehicle's own weight.
- GCWR
- Gross combined weight rating: the most the loaded vehicle and loaded trailer may weigh together. It is often the number that runs out first.
- Axle ratio
- A higher number (3.92 against 3.21) turns the engine faster at a given speed. It costs some fuel economy and usually raises the tow rating.
