That just means there was 4 gallons of gas in the tank.
yes i know .lol
No window sticker or vehicle decal for any JT I've ever seen actually lists the tow capacity, so please post up a picture of your window sticker and/or door decal that say that, I'd love to see it.
i think i still have the window sticker. The deal laminated it.
Oh, come on - here we go again!lets compare. What does the MAX tow have that the Rubicon doesn't I am curious now.
My Gladiator has:
Wide HD axles w/ 4:10
Heavy duty cooling
270 amp alt
trailer tow package w/ flat and round connectors
It does not have:
brake controller
LSD
the extra 700 lbs tow capacity rating of max tow
No, it is NOT.
Go check the specs for 2025 online. Mojave is 7,000 pounds now, not 6,000.
Tire size - center of gravity and more.

You'll never change the rated towing capacity, but only a fool would argue a hemi swapped gladiator on 1 ton axles is a worse tow vehicle than the max tow is stock. For the most part the biggest limiting factor in the tow testing in America is the requirement to tow the max rated load up a long grade in 90⁰ + weather. That is the reason that JLUs in America are rated at 3500lbs and in Australia and Europe the exact same vehicles are rated at 5000lbs. I agree especially with the relatively small grill/radiator that heat rejection is the biggest issue...in that test. If you're towing your boat from the marina with at most a few hundred feet of elevation gain in <80⁰ weather then it's just not an issue. The mojave likely gets is lower rating due to the soft springs by comparison to the Rubicon and especially the max tow. If they bumped it up to 7k for 2025s as mentioned I'm guessing they realized that the springs are stiff enough for the job. Braking, cooling, center of gravity, etc are all the same as they were sken the rating was only 6k pounds.
Did you see where they say the 2024 Mojave X is 4,500 lbs? Doesn’t make sense.
The Rubicon and Rubicon X both say 4500lbs as well. It's anyone surprised that the Jeep configurator is wrong though?
Just as lowering a Rubicon, putting max tow springs and tires, etc in it won't change the rated capacity, lifting won't change it either. Added weight will lower payload as you are already closer to the gross weight rating but the number doesn't change. Some will argue that the higher center of gravity and larger tires will lower your capacity, but the rating is the rating period. Obviously it won't stop as well or handle as well as it did stock, but that doesn't change the numbers. That's like arguing our speed limits should be decreased after lifting or putting bigger tires on. The enforceable number doesn't change and has plenty of safety margin built into it in my opinion. My mojave is only rated at 6k pounds...before the 3.5" lift and 37s. And yet it had no problem towing an 8400 pounds trailer 600 miles including a grade that goes from 300' elevation to 4k feet in 20 miles. Maintained 65mph, stopped without issue, no sway, and never got above normal operating temps. Allegedly.
