When did you get yours? I got my Sport S with Max Tow and 4.10, ordered around June 6 of 2019 and delivered around July 22 2019. If you were being told that there were no 4.10 it was only because he couldn't get any max tows, they were scarce that is why I ordered mine.
I never said there were no 4.10 - that's all that max tow comes with.
I was saying you could not get the LSD with max tow at that time - not that was listed in the options.
4.10 has always been the only ratio for max tow, it's one of the defining aspects.
Last year the only LSD option was with the 3.73 ratio.

I think when I got mine, they were throwing all 44 wides into the Rubicons and leaving the Sports as non max tow, for the Gladiators that they were sending to the dealers for their lots at the time. My Max Tow was very rare in July of 2019.
MAx tow was on the lots when I looked in October, not rare at all.

When I was looking in January the MT was rare in the sense that they maybe made up 3% of the available inventory. I had to travel 60 miles to get mine in the color and with the options I wanted.

Didn't matter what level I was looking at, nothing on any dealer lot matched what I wanted, so I could say the same about Overland or Rubicon. But what the dealers here had was max tow - in fact, that's what I took the first test drives in because that's what they had. No Overlands in stock at all, and a few Rubicon.
I'd say the max tow was at least 20% of what was here, along with Sport and Sport S with just tow package, and some Rubicon in the gray and silver colors, and later, 1 in orange.

But then this is a pickup truck state - if it can't tow, may as well go sell it somewhere else.

Here on Long Island not much towing. Which is why so many dealers would quite the sport with the standard tow package as 'yeah it can tow a lot'.

Lots of Rubis here on Long Island. It's more of an appearance package here than anything.

Well, around central Arkansas, you can’t hardly find a new glad with max tow pkg. Here’s my dilemma, I pull a 5100 lb camper with my full size GMC truck. Well, I just retired and I want to purchase a new Glad to pull it with. I’m trying to get rid of one vehicle. I also have a JL that I absolutely Love. So the answer is to condense down to the rag top Glad. But I really want the Rubicon! I don’t want to make a stupid mistake,and buy the Rubicon, only to find out that I should have bought a max tow! Obviously you can’t order the max tow pkg with the Rubicon. I know that the tow rating for the Rubicon is only 6000 lbs. I don’t camp more than 60 miles from my house. What has other Glad owner’s experienced? Thanks

Gas Rubicon tow rating is 7000.
That's with automatic, correct?
Am I wrong or is the stick 6,000 for Rubicon?

Overland is the 6,000 pound tow rating - WITH automatic.

The diesel models top out at 6000, anything with a manual is like 4500.

Plus they sit up, and they have a curb weight of about 5,000 pounds- isn't that heavier than any of the others or am I remembering correctly?
The Mojave wasn't aimed at people wanting payload and towing. Each level was aimed at a different market segment.
So I guess you can have your cake, but you can't eat the other guy's cake.

My Sport S has EVERY Max tow option except for the 4:10 rear end I don’t tow much so I would rather have the 3:73.
