Ah, thank you both. It's a new trim level in 2022. I hadn't begun researching that MY yet.

I stand corrected.

Thanks again!

Don't fret the Max Tow label. With the Mojave you get so much more and a tow capacity close to the same. The Mojave has locking rear axle, great offroad suspension, gusseted and beefed frame, Mojave hood etc. The Gladiator is not a great tow vehicle. If you need a tow vehicle get a Ram with a diesel.
Get more upgrades in other areas...yes. Close to the same towing? Not really. 6,000 VS 7,675 isnt all that close. Thats nearly a 30% upgrade in towing capacity.

it is really significant, but I haven't even looked to know if it's worth it for me, I just want to pull a small ski boat, any idea on the weight of one of those?

I do think the high altitude looks really slick though, but I can just paint my overland to body color match all around, I'll just miss out on the napa leather, which if it's that significantly more comfortable I'd be all for it as I feel like the leather that comes in these are far too stiff for my liking, needs more cushion.

Depends on the boat, I have a Four Winns bow rider that is around 3k lbs with the trailer, my JT, which is a max tow, handles it pretty well. I usually tow it a couple times a year about 125 miles from MA to Maine.

Interesting.

My data suggests otherwise. Additionally, I know of no trim level simply called "Altitude".

Do you have a reference for this?
from the official jeep website. You can order an Altitude trim

Thank you, this has been sorted out already.

At the time I was unaware this was a new trim level for the '22 MY.

I'm neck deep in MY '21 research, and didn't realize they'd introduced a new trim level. My bad.

Please carry on.

Nowadays all you have to do is sneeze and a new trim level appears. Travel trailers are worse…they have mid years changes which can mean two 2022 models of the same trailer are nothing alke.

I got the max tow for the additional 650 it gives me in the spread for towing a lower percentage of total capacity. Same with tongue weight. OTherwise I would have gotten a Rubi since I basically spent the same amount on my Sport S
