Bottom line...Your're fine towing that amount. If you were to take it on vacation with the whole family you may need to load the boat with some of your luggage though.
Oh, and Eighty got it right...driver is NOT included in Payload rating.
Does anyone have an audio recording of what this sounds like? I'm fairly certain my passenger side started leaking. Also, is there any downside to continuing to drive it while I'm waiting for parts/service appointments, etc?
That seems to me like a really good mileage improvement! I used to get 31mpg HWY on my Ecodiesel and when towing it dropped to 14-ish...so 17 is a great number as far as I'm concerned.
I hate to be the negative guy...but that truck loaded that heavily with options is highly unlikely to have a 1400lb payload. Maybe if you are able to deselect the panoramic sunroof you might get a little closer. I recall seeing very similar builds with Payloads of just over a thousand pounds...
You get into an accident and cause anyone any harm and you are likely uninsurable...your current carrier will drop you immediately. Wouldn't do it. Best of luck to all the people anywhere near you because, frankly, it sounds like you're gonna do it anyway.
Vehicle pricing is market-based...it has nothing at all to do with how much you paid. Just ask the many folks on here that sold trucks they had for years for MORE than they paid. Supply is clearly catching up with demand, and in the case of trucks has likely surpassed it. Anyone that paid...
Nice! Every day I wonder if I should have gone EcoDiesel. I had the Gen2 EcoD in a grand cherokee and put 229K miles on it...ran fantastic. The Gen3 motor is supposed to be largely better. Post a picture by the way!
I ran straight pump DEF in my EcoDiesel Jeep Grand Cherokee for 230K miles with ZERO issues, period. I used a few 2.5 gallon jugs over that time. I ALWAYS bought the cheapest DEF I could find. Never a single issue with DEF quality, freshness, etc etc.
It did get to be pretty fun driving...
Welcome! I have a similarly set up Laramie (PRB's, Adv Safety Group, 12", but no Air Susp, which I miss!). similar experience....our parents, all in their low 80's, can get in/out quite easily. The comfort is stellar, especially on long road trips. You'll love it even more over time. There...
I added the Mopar PRB's to my Laramie...and the dealer can certainly do the installation as well...try to make that a condition of the sale or something. There is no difference between factory and dealer/DIY installed PRB's. (You have to get the correct sales code installed...dealer can do that...
