I agree that the difference in towing between a Max Tow and a Rubicon is trim etc.I had a 2020 max tow and its tow rating came from the small, light tires, lighter overall weight, plus 4.10s. When you put on big, heavy tires, it isn't max tow anymore. If you go too big, 4.10s aren't enough either. The allure of the max tow package for many of us comes from the presence of 4.10 vs. 3.73, plus the wider axles which make it easier to go to larger tires without rubbing. Consider why the Rubicon and Mojave models have lower tow ratings in spite of their 4.10s. It isn't mostly from the springs, it is probably more from the bigger tires that weigh 62 lb each instead of 34 lb. each and the ability of that little 220 cubic inch engine to drag around a heavy trailer. Just my opinion. . .
