What Tires are those? Can't quite make it out.I'm with you guys. The Max Tow with just upgraded tire is a pretty awesome truck. I would have loved to keep the stock tires for the functionality but sometimes you have to go for the look. Dont plan on doing anything else to it to be honest.
You do realize that nothing following the phrase "no offense, but" is ever inoffensive, and rarely is it intended to be.
No offense but quoting year old posts is kind of silly.
Touche
I did no lift and threw 37s on my Mojave. its totally fine. can't really tow like that tho. I will upsize to 35s tho on my stocks for daily. should still tow fine with that setup. I like 4.10s, id rather add more power than gear higher personally. 392, 4.10s, 37s, probs get some sweet highway mpgs with that. Thats my goal anyway.It even survived 85 mph winds and hail last night in Nashville!
I was thinking Max Toe with big sore toe
I hear ya Bro. Agree wholeheartedly.I have had this Jeep JT Max Tow for a year and a half and I can’t get myself to lift it. I want 37’s in my head and I’ve had plenty of Jeeps, most all lifted and taken off road. This Max Tow just does so well as is. The gearing and the small tires keep it peppy. All of the complaints I hear about the 3.6 being weak. Yes, I am sure after a lift and bigger tires it feels that way... but these certainly aren’t sports cars or muscle cars and they don’t need to be rock crawlers either.
I have towed close to the Max with this truck and it does so well! I have had 3 of the 1 Ton Crew Cab 8 ft bed 7.3 diesel Fords. All tuned and beastly, but they are so BIG! I never towed the Max with those trucks. I pulled my wakeboard boats with them and used one for building my house. I think the most I ever towed with a goose neck was around 12k lbs.
When I bought the Max Tow I was coming from a lifted 2016 Rubicon JKUHR on 35’s. I Loved the JKUHR and it was a manual that I daily drove. When I traded the the JKUHR for the Max Tow I thought I would lift the JT, put some 37’s on it right away... but it is soooo good just the way it is.
The more I use it, the more I drive it, the more I love it.
The Max Tow is a special edition that is so overlooked and IMOP misunderstood. Out of all the JTs these Max Tow Jeep trucks are the ones that made the engineers really think hard on how to achieve what Jeep wanted. They had to test the Jeep Truck Max Tow to make sure it was what Jeep wanted the Gladiator to be. Jeep wanted a real pickup truck, not a wrangler with a bed. The Jeep brass knew that if they made that pseudo truck, the Gladiator would have been a joke. The competition would have raked it over the coals. Jeep wanted the Gladiator to best all other brands with the top payload and best towing in its class. The engineers had to do it with a fixed hood height and grill width too... you can’t change the look too much on an Icon. The Max Tow has to keep the approach angle that the wrangler and the other JTs had. They managed to pull it off! With bigger grill slots, bigger brakes, improved cooling system, wider heavier duty axles, 4:10 gears and an 8 speed automatic.
The Max Tow IS what gave us all the opportunity to buy a convertible Jeep Truck. The Max Tow is the benchmark Jeep set for their engineers when they created the Gladiator. A real mid sized truck best in class. The Rubicon has already been done with the wrangler, so it is no surprise that they would do the same treatment on the JT. No big deal to the masses if they released a Wrangler dressed as a truck, even with the Rubicon sticker. The Max Tow is what benchmarked the Gladiator as a real truck! When I role by the Yota, Chebby and Ford mid sized truck owners towing 6+ thousand pounds up a mountain at the speed limit. This just makes me feel good. I know their mid size trucks can’t do it! They certainly can’t do it with the top down!
The Max Tow IS the ultimate Jeep convertible pickup truck! Jeep really did an amazing job with it and I just don’t want to mess it up!
I paid 34500 for my MT
