Flat Towing a 2023 Gladiator

[AllegroYall]

Hey Friends , thinking of towing the 23' Gladiator above, behind my 2019 Open Road Allegro 32SA. Has anybody had experience with this model. Are there any problems or troubles I should be aware of ?
I have a Roadmaster Falcon tow bar and will be using a Roadmaster Direct Connect base plate system.
Haven't decided on the braking system yet , any thoughts or advice would appreciated.
Cheers

Welcome aboard. I don't tow a Gladiator, just a 2 door Wrangler. I understand they are a little heavier than a regular Jeep but tother than that, it show tow just as easy as a Wrangler.

We have used a Brake Buddy since 2011. It is very easy to use but we have had to have the compressor rebuilt twice now. Having said that, we have been full time for the last eight years so it is used lots. Perhaps, for a user that does not, full time, the compressor might last longer.

Safe travels

We tow a 2020 Gladiator behind a 2021 Newmar Superstar (Freightliner M2-106 chassis.) It’s a great vehicle for a toad. Two things to be aware of that are more in the “points of interest “ category than actual problems:

1. The toad’s wiring setup will be different depending on whether the taillights are conventional or LED bulbs.

2. The Jeep is one of those vehicles that turns itself off/on at the stoplight. Jeep uses a second, smaller, auxiliary battery to power that wonderful “feature". If you start having issues, you can replace the main battery with a larger one, and disable the aux battery completely.
