does anyone else have a Jeep Gladiator? Towing Question

[Potts]

Last time I got a quote from Penske for a truck and trailer it was $2500, and that was 15 years ago.

I found a local ford dealership that would rent me a nearly new f150 crew 4x4 for $499 for a week!

...and didn't care that I was pulling a trailer and going from FL to TX and back!

I even called their customer support line from TX when the trailer brake connector shorted the trailer brakes, and between the tech and myself we figured out a work around.

I did that deal twice. The first time the truck had 33 miles on it when picked up and 3500 when returned!

Did you rent that trailer too?

No. BIL had a super nice, easy to pull steel trailer.

Could hardly feel it behind you.

Sold it cheap a few years ago. Bet he regrets it. I sure do.

All those toys (not to mention that garage-mahal of a shop) and you don't own a trailer?

yea, I know it sucks, but apparently i need to buy a pick up also since the gladiator wont do it.
will post pics soon, in the middle of a complete garage / man cave make over right now, ceiling on garage was dark blue, made it feel like a cave, so lightened it up, painting mancave, finishing floor ( finish grout and seal ) , adding a new central heat/ac to garage, and painting exterior of building.

i checked with Home Depot, I can rent a F250 for 129.00 per day, have access to a car trailer that i can use in cinci, so i think drive the f250 up get trailer, load the car up bring it back, then i think i would be fine hauling the car trailer back to cinci empty with the gladiator.
I never thought to Ask my buddies brother about using his car trailer, he said it was fine to borrow it. I just think car and trailer together is a bit much for the gladiator. Unless I could fine someone to transport it for me. I posted in transportation wanted also. it would be easier for this to happen, and prob cheaper
