Such a beautiful area at any time of year - but when the aspens are in full display it is trly favulous, I'm curious how your tow vehicle is holding? I first towed my Summit with a Jeep Gladiator, but I found that the trailer was making my Jeep work too hard on the highway transits.
Gas or diesel? Rubicon on 4.10s? Did you re-gear? Sell the trailer or upgrade your tow vehicle? I’m seeing lots of Gladiator-pulled Summits on the interweb! Curious as I upgraded to 5.13s and am in the market for a Summit as we speak.
It's 'fair' at best? I can run 80 on the freeway with the trailer loaded. It's a 4runner so using the cruise and gas mileage are out. Maybe 9.5 mpg in 4th gear 90% of the time. On the trail it's fine, I found my self in 1st gear in 4HI quite a few times on the longer ascents at higher altitude but that's to be expected. Thanks for checking us out. More to come!
@@cdnjeepoverlandI was pulling mine with a 2021 Gladiator WILLYS, 3.6L GAS, re-geared to 4.88s. The JT pulled my Summit fine if I kept it below 70, but on the long mountain passes in Colorado where you're pulling a steep grade for a lot of miles, it would still manage it but it drank a lot of gas - 11 MPG and lower was the norm, and just 23 gal in the tank. Even with that said, if I lived closer to the mountains I would have kept my Gladiator. However with a Minimum 900 miles on the interstate before I ever reach the mountains the Jeep can be loud and a bit rough. No knock on the Jeep because I'm also almost 65 and my behind would get a little sore after the long days behind the wheel. I LOVE LOVE my Saummit and can't see me trading for anything else. But I switched my tow vehicle to F150 4x4 with 5.0L engine and 36 Gal tank. Yes, I sacrificed the Jeep's clearance and agility off the pavement, but the pickup will go "most" of the places that I'd take my trailer, so I'm okay with the trade-off.
Nice job always enjoyable.
Some casual Kayak territory.
Yeah, that thought crossed my mind, too. Wasn't busy out on the reservoir at all.
