Consumer Description
I was driving the vehicle, while towing a 5000lb trailer (vehicle tow rating is 6000lb), up a 4-5% grade at 4000'-6000' elevation, with ambient temperature around 80 degrees, and the vehicle unexpectedly derated / limited speed to approx 45 mph with no warning indicators on the vehicle. I had a number of cars and semi trucks behind me, and so I unexpectedly needed to find a safe place to pull over, which was limited due to the road conditions. I travel in areas frequented by semi trucks with limited shoulders. If I had not found a pull-out, this could have been dangerous. This appears to be an issue countered by a number of Jeep Gladiator Diesel owners, relating to either engine oil temperature too high, or EGT temp too high when towing uphill.
