Max Tow Package

[Dale Vinson]

Will someone please explain what the “Max Tow” package entails? I have the tow package. No details... window sticker simply says tow package.

max tow has wider axles, larger cooling system, 4:10 gear ratio (compared to 3:73 on most models), progrssive springs, increased payload (1600 lbs ish?) and towing (7700 lbs ish?) ... i think that's all but im running on 2 bottles of wine and exhaustion.

^^ that.

Max tow also includes anti-spin rear diff (limited slip).

This is what you get with just the trailer package ($350)

• 240-Amp Alternator
• Class IV Receiver Hitch
• Heavy-Duty Engine Cooling
• Trailer Hitch Zoom

This is what comes with the Max Tow ($1245)

• Trac-Lok® Anti-Spin Rear Differential
• 4.10 Axle Ratio
• Heavy-Duty Dana 44 Wide Front Axle
• Heavy-Duty Dana 44 Wide Rear Axle
• Daytime Running Lamp System
• 240-Amp Alternator (Unavailable with some configurations)
• 245/75R17 All-Terrain Tires (Unavailable with some configurations)
• Class IV Receiver Hitch (Unavailable with some configurations)
• Heavy-Duty Engine Cooling (Unavailable with some configurations)
• Trailer Hitch Zoom (Unavailable with some configurations)

There is no badging for the Max Tow, so there is nothing saying Max Tow other than the sticker. The fenders are the tell for a Max Tow, they have an extra pc. due to the wider Axle.

^^and widened fender flares (3/4" roughly) to help cover the wider axles.

Are the max tow fenders wider than the Rubicon fenders, I know the Rubicon's are higher, also are the rear fenders the same on the Rubicon and non max tow sports?

Same width Max Tow and Rubicon.

Easiest way is looking at the fender to see if you have a flat fender side, or the extra flare.
Regular "tow package" with the auto is 6000#.

All JT's have the 44" Heavy Duty Dana's.

The Trac-lok Anti Spin and the 4.10 axle ratio are the reason to go with the Max Tow, it's a good deal if you need the extra 1650 lbs towing capacity or want bigger tires. I don't think you it would be easy to find a shop to regear a 3.73 to a 4.10 for $900 from what I've seen around the forum

My bad, I missed the wide track, the max tow is definitely the bang for your buck model.
