This is an awesome package. And it makes the decision between Rubicon and Sport a LOT more difficult. The price of the package will be key. But you're basically getting Rubicon axles and the HD Rubicon brakes and 4.10 gearing without going Rubicon. The standard Transfer Case is fine and most don't really need to opt for the 4:1 Tcase. The electronic swaybar disconnect was always unreliable on JK's and old fashioned manual disconnects are much cheaper and not that hard to use.
This makes me lean towards a Sport S with the Max Tow, probably throw some Detroit Truetracs in the diffs, add some 35's and a bit of lift. Maybe even just get some Rubicon take-off wheels/tires/Fox shocks. Add your own aftermarket bumpers (or Rubicon take-offs) and skids and you have a pretty darn good overlanding rig without the cost of the Rubicon...
The only thing that would make this Max Tow package better would be if you could get at least one locker, in the rear axle, but I doubt we will see that since they'll want you to jump to the Rubicon for factory lockers.
Kind of awesome they are offering it this way. I thought for sure this would have 3.73 gears in the axles. The fact it has 4.10's and the Rubicon brakes is fantastic.
