Axle Ratio on Gladiators?

[DanW]

What is the axle ratio on different Gladiator models? I'm pretty sure the Rubis are 4.10. What about the Willys and the Sport? Also, does the towing package change this on them? Finally, What is the tow rating for a Willy's vs. Rubicon, with both being equipped with the tow package?

I'm getting ready to press the button on a new JT, possibly, so I just had a few questions about them.

Thanks!

i think 3.73 is the other. Some wranglers came with maybe 3.10

All diesel JT's come with 3:73

I believe the Rubicons and Mojave’s come with 4:10.
Sports with the Max Tow (not just regular tow) get the 4:10’s as well.

That's what I was looking for. Max tow axle ratio.

Thanks!

Okay, some more qualifiers. All wide axle, automatic, gas Gladiators come with 4:10. All wide axle, manual, gas come with 3:73. All diesels come with 3:73. All narrow axle, gas come with 3:73.

73.

So a gas Rubicon with the manual transmission comes with the 3.73 gears?

No, 4.10.

That’s what I thought. I was confused by the prior statement.

MaxTow and Rubicon get wide track axles (1.5 inches total) and 4.10s. I don't know about any others. If you are in low budget mode I think you can't beat the Max Tow package. I am on my second low budget build and the Max Tow was a priority for me both times.

3.73 on the Willys. 4.10 on the Mojave.

High Altitude comes with wide axles and is 3:73.

Dealer info is confusing. The ones I see show a 3.73 axle ratio on the Willys with the tow package. That isn't right, is it? I would think it would be a 4.10. And what is the maximum towing capacity for a Willys with the tow package?

Willys with the tow package has 3.73 gears. Towing capacity for the automatic transmission is 6,000 lbs & 4,000 for the manual.

There is the "Tow Package" and a "Max Tow Package".

The "Tow Package" just adds the hitch, larger cooling fan, larger alternator and battery to the Willys model but does not change the 3.73 gearing and that remains. This package is also available on Rubicon and Mojave models but they come standard already with the 4.10 gearing

The "Max Tow Package" adds all stuff previously mention plus it adds the wide track axles with 4.10 gearing. That package for 2023 and prior is only available on the Sport S, base Sport and a few Altitude model but not on the Willys.
