I don't think you're wrong per se, but there's clearly money to be made on platforms like the Raptor and TRX. I mean just look at the Wrangler 392...Jeep is selling every one they build!
So my towing is the 7650 number and my payload is 1539 as per the door. I have the bigger "step" rock rails which I sure odds some weight and then the Freedom obviously comes with the steel front and rears.
I honestly think this is the most under appreciated of the current "special" packages.
I actually just got a Freedom Edition last week. I was torn between this one and a Rubicon but in the end the Freedom with a max tow clicked more boxes for our needs. I'm pretty happy with it all in all!
