Will It Tow? New Jeep Gladiator Mojave Can Off-Road, But Can It Haul 5,000 lbs on a Highway? | TFLTruck

The new 2020 Jeep Gladiator Mojave may feel at home in the desert and off-road, but can you also bring some toys with you along for the ride? In this video I tow a 5,000 lbs trailer and check what MPG I can get with this load.

Under the hood of this Jeep is still a 3.6-liter V6 with 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. The engine is mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The maximum towing rating for the Mojave is 6,000 lbs. It has to do with the softer off-road suspension: unique springs and 2.5-inch body FOX shocks.

This towing test is brought to you by our friends at GenY Hitch. I am also using a new Glyder cushioned hitch. The hitch has a built-in torsion axle that softens the bumps and hits that are coming from the trailer.
