Max Tow confused-Overland trim package

[Batchinguy]

So I have been reading about the Max Tow package. I have seen in several places that the Overland does not have the Max Tow package. Now I swear my window sticker indicated it does. How can I confirm this is actually true or not? Not if it don’t have it when the sticker says it does would I be able to get the axles and what not installed on Jeep’s dime?

It probably says it has the tow package, not the max tow package. Which, is just a hitch receiver on the back.

Correct, you cannot get the Max Tow package on the Overland. There is also the regular trailer tow package you might be seeing on your sticker. And no, the dealer cannot simply add the max tow package if that’s what you are asking; there’s a lot to it.

Max Tow is different than the tow package. Max Tow has the wide track axles and 4.10 gears, like a Rubicon. Salesman need to research what they are selling. I asked to see a Max Tow equipped Sport when I was ready to buy. I had two salesmen say yep they had them, then showed me Sports with the tow package. Not a Max Tow. I had to educate them on how to tell the difference.
I ended up getting a Rubicon because there were no Max Tow equipped Gladiators around.

You got that right. I hate walking into a dealership and knowing more than those SELLING these things for a living, day after day, week after week.
I ran into that sort of thing - it's one reason I went over to the dealership I HATE because they were the only ones that had a sales person who had been to CLASSES, even advanced classes, on the JT itself. I asked it, he could answer it without fail. He did mess up our order a bit but then we should have checked his work more in detail. Otherwise, I asked about the aux switches (I didn't end up buying them) and he walked over and showed me where the wires were inside and out and gave details on how they worked and more. He didn't even look it up.
But I'll never buy there again.

Actually yes the sticker says tow package. Sales guy said max tow.
my issue for not actually looking into it myself.
