Bluetick Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 We are looking to buy an Oliver. The tow vehicle will be a Jeep Gladiator which has a GVWR of 7650 pounds. While I'm sure it can tow the 18-ft Oliver, does anyone know whether it will tow the larger, 23-ft trailer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMI Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I personally think the gladiator is a great off road vehicle. However, I feel it makes a better toad than steed. The payload will probably be under 1k and the max tow will most likely be 4K ish. Carefully look at the numbers before you take the next step. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it will tow the bigger Oliver but you won’t be happy. Payload and fuel tank size are marginal. If you plan on visiting mountains you will be at your limits going uphill and downhill.

Trainman Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I was stopped at a fuel station and a Gladiator came in with an Oliver Elite II so I asked the owner how he liked his Gladiator and Oliver towing, he said it was doing fine and this was his first trip with the Gladiator Sahara and the Oliver. He was some 200 miles from home and he was an 82 year old gentleman and this was his first RV in some 15 years, so I didn't go with any more questions as I feel if he was happy then all was ok for him. The rig looks great together, but just didn't think it would work for me. trainman 2019 RAM 1500, 5.7 Hemi, 4X4, Crew Cab, 5'7" bed, Towing Package, 3.92 Gears. Oliver was sold.
