You did see I said all trims, yes?To this day, and 2 years (at least) later, no one understands - MAX TOW is available only on Sport/Sport S or models BASED on the Sport/Sport S such as FE, etc.
Rubicon cannot have max tow.
Overland cannot have max tow.
Anything based on Overland (HA, for example) cannot have max tow.
Mojave cannot have max tow.
You can have a standard towing package (with the 2" receiver) on the other models, but you cannot possibly buy/obtain Rubicon, Overland, Mojave, High Altitude and so on with max tow.
So, that extra .6" of diameter, or in other words, .3" extra height, is enough to justify?
Just wondering, because that's all the difference there is between the stock Overland 32.2" tires and the stock Rubicon 32.8" tires.
.6 total difference in diameter, for a gain of about 1/4" extra height.
Not saying it makes sense to have the differences at all because the differences are so very slight, but just tossing out there - such a little gain.
I think they should come with the same diameter to start with just to keep things even at the starting line. Go ahead and put the tires on the Overland for ride and mpg, go ahead - but then they'd have to recertify towing, etc. with the different tires.
I do find it interesting, though, that Jeep had different diameters when the difference was basically a total of a half inch. Big whoop.
You do know that the Sport, which probably accounts for more sales than Overland, Rubicon, and Mojave combined, comes stock with less than a 31" tire, yes?
