That’s wild. So far there’s more snow in Maui right now than there is here in CT (literally).
We’ve had one 6” storm about a month ago and it was melted within a few days. Been around the 40’s and only have gotten rain since.

Still sexy tho
Looks safer than 43% of the campers you see being towed on the road anymore.

Seen a stock gladiator (eco diesel) on the freeway the other day doing 80mph pulling a 24ish ft enclosed trailer. It looked like a handful with the wind that day….

You're not wrong, that's why I had to take the pic... the trailer is gone now!
Seriously, there's some sketchy stuff getting moved around!
Yikes, that sounds like a bad time. I don't think a Pentastar would do it very well, the transmission would be stuck in 3rd gear at 65, turning 5,500 RPM.
IMO, the weight isn't a issue... the wind resistance would be. I've pulled my car trailer and a Willys on the freeway a few times and it's OK.

The EcoDiesel is a bit of a different animal than the 3.6. in some ways good and in some ways bad. I know of guys towing things with their EcoDiesel that I'm not sure I'd tow. I do think it would tow my car on a trailer at about 70 without much issue. However I'm pretty spoiled with the integrated brake controller and my JT doesn't have one (remedy available but should I? --- so far, no)

That's where I am, yes a Gladiator will tow... but I have other tools available for the job that do better... (not the EcoBoost though) 🤣

I'm jonesing for a "square body", 8.1, manual trans truck for some reason... Makes no sense. It would tow whatever
UNSTUCK
But stuck more often.
You’d still be the safest guy towing if this was Europe/GB. Crazy over there.
My current situation.
Our flight to Miami was delayed 3 hours. We finally got in the plane, got seated and they closed everything up just to have the pilot come on and say they’re out of hours. Now we’ve been sitting on the plane for 30 minutes waiting to get off. Air travel is freaking ridiculous.
And then there’s our non-refundable hotel, rental car and plans we have scheduled in Miami. Wow.

I flew about 30k miles last year and was lucky to not have one single delayed flight.

Headed south to hopefully warmer weather. Wife has some training in Sedona this weekend. Staying the first night at Gouldings Lodge.

Done flying for the foreseeable future 😎
You probably glow in the dark from all the miles you’ve logged 🤣
My log says 194,303 in last 12 months. That’s all based on straight line distance which we never take. Also was off from May-September for training 😂

So I forgot to post, but the day after this discussion going up Spanish Fork I saw a 2 door JK or JL towing a snowmobile trailer the size of your camper. Did not look like they were having a good time. It was quite windy and my F150 was getting pushed around quite a bit with just a jetta in tow.
