Moab 2026

[CJ2Rox]

I think My Roxor has a plaque/sticker thing on the dash that says it weighs 2990lb, pretty sure that is what it says,

No brakes, I use a ram Cummins, I don’t even notice it

I have towed it up and down I-70
Hwy 40 From Steamboat to Vernal, Ut
Up to Flaming Gorge 3x’s from Vail Colorado, 5hr each way

Vail to Silverton and back 5hrs

Vail to Billings MT & Back (that’s 8hrs each way) 640mi

Vail to Denver once or twice 100mi, drove around thru the City to get to the axle shop

Vail to Grand Junction 3x’s 120mi

Some short hauls

I don’t think anyone cares about an old man driving a pickup 5-10mph below the speed limit towing what appears to be some old leaf spring jeep w a little S Dakota plate

My tow vehicle will be smaller but under its rating. I also drive slow love the mpg over first one up the hill. Being a CDL driver has that effect. Was gonna trailer it but was at its max. Tried installing a brake controller but these new pos suvs have over complicated the process. Flat tow seems like an easier option. My 2020 says 3035

What would you say should be the max speed? Have about 100 miles of I15 before its all single lane roads. About 700 miles of driving down

Somewhat depends on the tow vehicle
And Driveshaft status

The owners manual says 55mph max
I try to stay under 60mph with the driveshaft attached

Driveshaft off - whatever, speed limit or 5mph under up to 75mph behind the Cummins

It tows super smooth and you save the tare weight of the trailer, 1500-2000lb or whatever it might be

700mi haul - I would take off the drive shaft for sure
That is 4 bolts, 10-15min job w hand tools
5 min job with a battery impact wrench

Suck part is you gotta crawl underneath, but the Roxor is the easiest vehicle in the world to work on…
