Will to equipment from a JK fit a Gladiator?

[Dave_denn]

Hi everyone, I own a 4 dr. 2017 Wrangler Sport and am thinking of upgrading to one of the new Jeep pickups. The issue is I flat tow the Wrangler behind our motorhome and would prefer not to have to buy all new tow equipment to fit the pickup if the chassis if different from the Wrangler. Does anyone know if the two chassis are the same? Thanks for any info. You can provide.

Go to the website of the gear you use. See what they say to use with the JLs, JTs.

On buying a JT, word is they are selling slow. Which should drive the introduction of bigger engines and transmissions and might lead to some big discounts on the stagnant inventory. I'm not sure how much truth there is to surplus inventory but any slow down in production means they are building them too fast.

I doubt it, but maybe. I would contact the company whose tow equipment you have, as they will be able to give you a 100% for sure answer.

Thanks to all of you for the info.

The JL is almost like a unibody chassis and very light headed and so chassis is different.

Yeah, I called Roadmaster who makes the tow equipment and they confirmed that it is different and will require a new base plate, etc.
Thanks for your help.
