Does anyone have knowledge of a Sport S with Max Tow on a lot or in transit to a dealer? I've seen a few of the manifest from a couple of dealers and none of the Sport S models have been specked with the Max Tow from the factory. Salesmen are telling me the Max Tow will be a "special" configuration.

I've found 2 at 2 dealers within 2 hours from me, one red and one silver, the only options they don't have that I want is spray in bedliner and tonneau cover, both easily added.

There are some sport S with max tow in South Florida listed for $46,405. That being said on the spec sheet it says these gladiators have the max tow package, but the max tow is only 4500 pounds under the detailed specs. I thought the max tow was supposed to be 7650?

I’m pretty sure those are generic specs for a base Gladiator. My Sport S is configured the same way, and the manual says 7650 lbs.

Yeah, when you look at the spec sheet on the build and price tool it just shows everything as standard per that model since you’re looking at “Standard configurations”

So I just got a Sport S w/ Max tow, and I'm pretty sure it was dumb luck and the only one in the area. I live in the suburbs of Chicago, and everywhere I looked had either the Overland or Rubicon. I'd seen Sport S's over the last few weeks, like 1-2 here and there, but by the time i went to buy, mine was the only one in the are. Got lucky i guess

Get the build sheet for your VIN and double check the build components. Its the only way I've found to verify the tow rating for your vehicle. Had to do this with my Rubicon. Not even the service manager would confirm the tow rating without the build sheet.

I bought my Sport S w/ Max Tow off the lot last weekend. They seem to be available in the NY/CT area now (or were last weekend, anyway).
