All I know is that my Sport S Max Tow with a handful of other option packages came to $47,000. Just for kicks, I built a Rubicon with the exact same specs and it was $7,700 more money.
For $7,700 I would have gotten two lockers, a disconnecting sway bar, high-rise fenders, and a 4:1 low range. The tires didn't matter to me as I already had 35s sitting in my barn.
If I then priced those things out aftermarket, I came up WAYYYYYY below $7,700 and so for me it was a no-brainer. The Rubicon wasn't worth it. The cherry on top was that the Sport Max Tow added 37% more payload which opens up entirely new doors for legal towing possibilities.
