Local Utility: Hauling Around West Alabama

Achieving the maximum 7,700-pound limit requires equipping the Sport or Sport S trim with the Max Tow Package. This massive capacity allows you to effortlessly pull heavy dual-axle fiberglass boats up the steep, wet ramps at Lake Tuscaloosa without straining the Pentastar V6 engine.

It is important to note that towing capacity shifts depending on the trim you select. Because trims like the Rubicon and Mojave carry heavier specialized off-road suspensions, their maximum towing limits are lowered to safely accommodate that extra weight. Review the table below to see the exact capability limits across the primary lineup.

Translating the Max Tow Package Hardware

  • 4.10 Axle Ratio: The Max Tow Package upgrades the gearing in the heavy-duty Dana 44 wide axles to a 4.10 ratio. This shorter gearing multiplies the engine torque, giving you massive low-end pulling power to easily get a heavy trailer rolling from a dead stop at a traffic light.
  • Heavy-Duty Engine Cooling: Pulling maximum weight forces the engine to work significantly harder. The upgraded engine cooling package ensures the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 block maintains safe operating temperatures during heavy hauling in the sweltering heat of an Alabama summer.
  • Trailer-Hitch Zoom: Integrated directly into the standard ParkView Rear Back-Up Camera, this software allows you to zoom in on the Class IV receiver hitch through the 12.3-inch touchscreen display. This makes lining up your truck with a trailer tongue a simple, one-person job. You can review the exact measurements and configurations on the official Jeep Gladiator capabilities site.
