I'll say the Jeep Gladiator is a bad truck.

It has the standard Jeep Death Wobble and is probably the worst riding truck out there. It's just a toy. I get a huge kick out of photos showing this thing towing. I've towed an RV many thousands of miles and I say the sight of these trucks sagging in the back is dangerously funny.

I’m a longtime Jeep fan and couldn’t agree with you more about the Gladiator. The bed is too small to be a practical truck, and extends the wheelbase too far, ruining the breakover angle for the off road capability people want in a Jeep.

I love my gladiator. Right size, and can haul decent amounts safely with decent milage. I would never tow a camper, but a trailer and a jeep/small car on it at around 5k being towed would be fine. Maybe I am biased because I drive and own many tow trucks, but the ride on mine is about as nice as my Grand Caravan.

No death wobble……

Trailered a wrangler yj back from Shasta city, CA to San Jose Ca a month ago. Some 300ish miles. Did fantastic and 15 mpg except when the wind was against it.
