Max Tow

Basic question here, how do you identify a MAX TOW option on the window sticker and what options make up a MAX TOW package?

Sport with 4.10 gear

It'll say it clearly on the window sticker. Also look for the extra little lip on the fender flares. Basically the package includes:

Heavy duty cooling system (no idea what that means)
Wide-track axles
4.10 rear
Larger alternator
Limited slip rear
A zoomable back-up camera
Hitch receiver and pins.
I've also heard there can be some difference in the brakes but that might be BS.

I love that limited slip on the back of mine. What it can do just in 2WD is impressive. It's also a lot of fun running around at moderate speed in the sand around here - that back end kicks out perfectly.

The HD cooling system is a bit more powerful electric fan.

I love my Max Tow - so much that I had ordered it specifically for myself.

From the research I have done, I believe the "Heavy duty cooling system", is a higher output fan.

Interesting how the prices change over the years. Mine is a 2021.

I just went out and confirmed mine has trailer-hitch zoom. I hadn't noticed that!

Looking at Jeep's website, both the "Trailer Tow and Auxiliary Switch Group" and the Max Tow Package include the 240-amp alternator and the receiver hitch, so that almost explains the $1295 price for the Aux Switches. They forgot to give me my spare alternator and hitch, though.

Fan + Higher amp alternator to back it up. The higher amp alternator is a nice feature if you want to use the trailer plug to draw current from the trailer outlet to charge off or on board house batteries. The 7 pin connector contains a lead powered whenever the engine is running and another that runs the trailer backup lamps. You can get a pigtail and wire it for an auxiliary back up lamp or to run power to the bed. I've used such a pigtail to run a portable water transfer pump for a bed mounted tank.

Stand alone it's a very worthwhile option, adds a lot of value for the money.

There are undoubtedly different springs as well, since the payload increases quite a bit with the max tow package.

I think the springs and 4.10 gears are the only things I'm missing out on with a Nighthawk+standard tow package.

You're missing the heavy duty wide axles.

I wish the FTC would clamp down on that kind of stuff of not giving a credit for overlapping options. That is another one of those extra things they scrape extra profit from that they use to not.

Those oddball Nighthawks have 'em as part of the trim package.

That is so odd
