Besides the lack of power from the 3.6 here at higher elevations, with the self leveling air suspension in the GC, air suspension on the camper, redarc tow pro elite brake controller, it actually tows great and yes the lower center of gravity of the camper helps vs an airstream or standard...

Maybe you were not aware then that the JGC with the 3.6 has a tow rating of 6200lbs? We tow a 3400lb offroad camper behind it. The one we had prior with the ecodiesel had a tow rating of 7200lbs. And since the ranger can tow significantly more than 3500lbs and the bronco is built on the ranger...

At truck stops, I could fill the DEF tank for $12-15. When we drove the ecodiesel from Tampa, FL to Denver, CO loaded down, she was averaging 31mpg. Mixed city/highway she was getting about 27mpg. Take the same model GC but different trim package and her current 3.6 and she averages 17mpg...

No she didn’t wreck it. We got less than a mile down the road and pulled into the parking lot with diesel all over the engine and the entire cabin smelled of diesel. The dealer tried putting blame on my wife and that it wasn’t their tech who was at fault. This was a $1800 repair to begin with...

Just to add to my comment, I could care less if I have voice signal service, I bought the weBoost setup so wife and I can can work remotely during our trips. The fact we can set up camp on a cliffside overlooking Sedona and conduct zoom video calls with our colleagues is awesome. Turn the...

Weboost has helped us out here in CO, UT, AZ, WY & MT. Whether it be for the tmobile or verizon signal. Its even came in handy when home internet went down, go out into the garage, flip a switch, boost the signal of my hotspot, and walk back inside my house and jump back onto the computer. I...

We had the ecodiesel in our 2015 GC and it was a beast and loved it. I would just use a truck stop and fill up the DEF for much less than buying jugs. Then at 50k miles a plastic turbo elbow fitting blew and had to get it towed to our local dealership. Things went downhill from there after the...

No sister sorry lol. Yes, the patriot has pretty much every option available and that 3400lbs includes all the additional mods Ive made, gear, food, diesel and both water tanks full.

As a jeep diehard myself and have been for years, all I know is the Bronco has came up in discussions in my house the last few days. Wife never previously went online to spec out the GC trailhawk she wanted and yet she tells me an hour after the unveil that she wants to part ways with her...

Define midsize suv? What would a grand cherokee be considered? I wouldn’t group it with a full size expedition, tahoe etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My 200w portable panels were $900 and the controller has never left the storage bag since the camper has its own controller. Overpriced...I have no idea. All I know is they work and they don’t take up much room. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gotcha. Yeah I haven’t noticed issues with ours but we have the lithiums. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting. I work for a H-D group that sold 10,000 H-Ds last year throughout our dealerships. I also know how much revenue each of our dealerships take in. Doesn’t seem to be slowing down for us.

Do you have the agm or lithium batteries? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, 2 100ah batteries. Not sure what else I would need power for, already using it to charge macbook pro, 12v fan in the rtt at times, coffee maker, charge cell phones, ipad, drone batteries, air bag compressor used for set up and when hitting the road, a few led trailer/awning lights at night...

I don’t know anything about that other brand and not saying you’re wrong by any means about the other brand being better and obviously cheaper, but some of the items you mentioned above my redarc system does. I have the whole redarc system w/ dual lithiums and use a 200w portable solar panel to...

I have the redarc Manager 30 and their TVMS in our camper. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My truck is pretty well optioned out as is my wife’s jeep. You definitely get accustomed to the luxuries. Then I get into my jeep and I get annoyed that I have the pull the key out if my pocket to start the dang thing. Over the last few years, Ive realized I am fond of proximity lock/unlock...

My ‘17 f150 supercrew lariat fx4 optioned out was the most expensive vehicle I ever bought but here I am looking at superduty powerstroke w/ the tremor package. Hard to swallow that one which is why I haven’t pulled the trigger. Hell, even the wife’s grand cherokee trailhawk was north of 50k.

My camper trailer w/ rtt, annex plus an additional room (wife, myself & 2 large dogs) is 11’ long and both tow vehicles stick out further (jeep due to mirrors even when folded & truck that is overall wider) than the camper itself, so long as the jeep or the truck can squeeze through then the...
