Jeep Gladiator Truck Towing
Well we decided to sell our Avalanche and 3500 DRW and get a destination trailer on property in an RV park. Our long trips are done as we enjoy stationary snowbirding now.
Family back home still weekend camps in the summer and the wife wants to join in. So, we have a Jeep truck and are looking at trailers. Now I know the Jeep Truck is light duty even with the max towing package (which it has). But our camping days are limited and just don't want to go big again. Weekend short trip outings 3 - 4 times a summer.
Well I started looking at trailers with 4,000 GVWR max weight and 20 feet long as a starting point.
Found a few that will make reasonable weekenders so here are the specs on truck and trailer. Any experience with this set-up?
Thanks for the input.
