Got a new tow rig

[ripler]

I've been waiting for this truck since it was announced years ago, finally traded the Titan in today.

Does it ride like a wrangler?
Did you hook it up to the boat yet?
I am interested in it as well.

Congrats! I kind of like this thing...put a little lift and some bigger wheels/tires and it’ll look sweet.

Surprised Jeep gets away with such an antiquated design, yet it still looks cool and modern. No other manufacturer could pull this off..

Congrats. I love the way those look.

Rides better than Wrangler, it has longer wheelbase and the rear suspension is based off of the Ram not the Wrangler. Weather is rainy and cold so I'll have to report back in that.

It has a lift and 33s from the factory, I could add 35s with no modifications.

Ooooooooo I’m jealous! Nice!!! I like it! Wow I want one. I put about 50k a year on so I will see how yours does. I get 12.9 MPG with my Titan Prox4 so I think your mileage can’t be worse. Let us know. Oh take that off road and have some fun! 315/75/16 if you get the metric version of the 35” tall 12” wide tire it will save you about a $100 a tire. Same size but everyone wants (35”) tires so you pay for it.

I dig it. I'm debating one of these or a ram as my next truck. Curious to see your thoughts on it coming from a full size. I'm worried it will feel underpowered coming from a v8 midsize truck.

My titan is like a sports car, it hauls ass.

I like the titan a lot, but I feel like if I'm gonna buy a new truck, I want the toys like the big moonroof and the radar cruise. Supposedly the titan refresh for 2020 will have that all.

I wish ram would put the 392 in the 1500, preferably just the one from the 2500 so it runs on regular. Sigh, a guy can dream right?

My last 4 trucks were full sized and size was a concern, but I can get used to it. I traded 2108 Titan Pro 4X, I miss the V8, but this thing is badass.

No one paid attention to the Titan, people stop me everywhere I go in this.

I'm a jeep guy and tow with my wrangler. If my wallet could afford that beast I'd have it! Eventually I'll pick up a used Rubi Gladiator as my tow pig.

Nice rig! Is the backseat leg room the same as the Wrangler Unlimited? I was in the front seat of a Rubicon Unlimited and glanced at the backseat and was amazed of the available space. We're looking for comfort and space with towing capacity to haul our 230 when needed so as of now the new Expedition is at the top of our list. I'm curious to see the new powertrains they start to offer in the next few years in the Wranglers. I've heard or read that a diesel was in the works. If that's the case that may be our next vehicle after the Expedition.

I think it has 2" more legroom than the JLU. They are developing a diesel and it's supposed to be out soon, but the rated towing capacity will be less then the V6 according to everything I've read, I think it's has to do with the cooling system.

Saw one of these at the ramp yesterday. Looked to be hooked to a pontoon trailer. Definitely an interesting look.

I'm most curious if it will hold value like a Wrangler. Seems those things never depreciate.
