You have a Sport S with max Tow... 24S
You DO NOT have LED rear tail lights that come with the Safety Group Feature option on the Sport trim.
That's the picture you posted...

The Rubicon and Overland models offer the LED lighting package that would have the rear LED lights..
The only LED light option on the Sport S model was the Safety Group option included rear LED lights. *No front LED lights.

There are several item the make up the Sport S package but the two that stand out are a leather wrapped steering wheel and the 4 electric window switches on the dash. There really is no Sport S model , it just a Sport with a option package called 24S that's why the decal on the tailgate is SPORT

Do a VIN number search to see exactly what you got! There was no sticker with the vehicle? The dealer couldn't give you a build sheet? There is NO REASON you should NOT KNOW what you bought!!!!! I think you have 72 hours to renege on a deal, you might want to use that time to figure out exactly what you bought! I'm not sure I would have bought from a dealer that didn't know what he was selling, just my .02.......

I noticed in the Jeep configurator (Build and Price) a Sport model could be option with the 8-speed auto and Max Tow Package, I assumed the Max Tow Package was only available with the Sport S Package.
No, the Max Tow option is only available with the 8 speed auto trans, but it can be optioned on either a base Sport or Sport S. All of the options and restrictions are laid out pretty clearly in the order guide (see sticky post in the Ordering, Pricing, Negotiating, Tracking forum area.

Not in some states, in Iowa and you visit the dealership (internet is included) you have no bring back clause...we sell used cars with a 3 day right to refuse (have to be different) on those sales but the MSO once signed over cannot be undone...

Nevada is that way. Once you sign and drive away, it's done. You may find the occasional odd situation where the dealer will take it back, but usually the only way is a repo.

Well, I've been looking into a Gladiator... I thought I understood the trim levels before I went into the dealership, but I guess I don't know them as well as I thought. I bought a truck anyway because it seemed to have everything I wanted, I am just curious as to what I actually bought.

Anywho, I wanted a Sport S with Max Tow and a hard top. The truck the dealer showed me said "Jeep Gladiator Sport 4x4" on the sticker, no mention of S in the title, however it lists "Customer Preferred Package 24S" as an option and this contains what I THINK is everything that comes on the S trim. Do the Sport S trims says "Sport S" in the sticker title? Or is it just listed as the 24S package like mine is?

To my knowledge from all of the videos I've watched, the Sport S comes with these lights:
2020-Jeep-Gladiator56.jpg


This is my gladiator:
D29Ton8.jpg

I THOUGHT that these taillights indicate that I have a Sport model, not a Sport S.

Can someone help me verify what I bought and what the sticker should say for the Sport/Sport S? I also wanted the Max Tow package, and I was wondering how I can make sure that is what this truck has. I couldn't really trust the dealer since they first told me this was a Sport S, then told me that the max tow was only available on the Sport and not the Sport S(which I know is false) and because of that this is a Sport model. This particular dealer also referred to my Gladiator as a Wrangler multiple times.

If this is indeed a Sport and not a Sport S, what would I be missing on this one that would have came on a Sport S?

Thanks, and sorry for such a stupid post AFTER buying the truck!
For what ever reason, there is no badging for Sport S only S, I had a sticker made that says Sport S with Max Tow below it.

The LED taillights are not part of Max Tow they are part of active safety group.

Here is the difference between the Sport models before available options. I also attached a random Sport S window sticker and it appears there is no S listed at the top on the USA model window stickers anyways.

I have the sport S with max tow. As mentioned above, the LED tail lights with the reverse light in the middle is an add on for active safety features. Your tail lights with reverse light at the bottom means you simply bought one that doesn't have the active safety sensors. (Don't quote me but i believe that means stuff like lane departure warning and crap like that). My window sticker did not specify sport "s" either. I believe this is normal, as the "24s" you mention is in fact the "s" in question. Again as mentioned earlier, the easy way to tell is power windows. From what i understand, the very base sport model still comes with roll up windows. (Gasp! 33k and no power windows!!! Haha) as for the max tow, it should state under options that you have wide dana44 axles front and rear with 4.10 gears, the proper reciever, /trailer harness plugs next to rear license plate, as well as the wider fender flares. The tires should also be 245/75-17 for max tow if my memory serves me. Congrats on the new truck. You have quite a pair for buying an expensive rig before actually knowing what you wanted is actually part of it or not. Lol.
I have an old Cherokee with manual windows and locks. I always found it was the lack of power LOCKS that sucked worse than roll up windows. It's no biggie to roll a window down, but to have to go around and lock or unlock 4 f-in doors is a huge PITA!

Those fenders look like what come on the max tow. The tires are bigger and you have the Dana 44s on front and back with the max tow. Your led taillights have the sensors on them so it should have the active safety package as well. Window sticker will tell you more.
I thought the sport has Dana 44 front and rear also? That's what my sticker says.

Every Gladiator has Dana 44 front and rear FWIW

It does, they all do. Max Tow and Rubicon are just a bit wider. If anything that in theory should make the non wide axles :slightly: stronger because they don't have as long a lever to apply stress back to the housing. Probably negligible difference though.
