So I have been reading on the max towing package. And my build sheet says towing package but not the max package. But from what I can tell the only thing mine doesn’t have is the coolers. Has everything else the max package should have. So is it or isn’t it.

Not on the Mojave. You're missing the stiffer progressive rear springs.

I believe the Max Tow package has a tow rating in the upper 7K range. My Mojave with the Class IV is in the low 6K range. I don't have the specs in front of me but that is what my dealer told me.

If it's not a SPORT with the text stating MAX TOW, no it is not and no you can't possibly just add parts to make it one. That's been discussed at great length over hundreds of posts in many threads.
There's a lot more to it than the parts - center of gravity, weight of the truck and other factors along with the progressive springs, tire size, etc.

Mojave wasn't made to be the tow champ of Gladiators, it was made for other special purposes.

Summary -
No Mojave, no Rubicon, no Overland can have the max tow package and rating.

Don't fret the Max Tow label. With the Mojave you get so much more and a tow capacity close to the same. The Mojave has locking rear axle, great offroad suspension, gusseted and beefed frame, Mojave hood etc. The Gladiator is not a great tow vehicle. If you need a tow vehicle get a Ram with a diesel.

Max tow is only an option on Sport, Sport S with max tow rated at 7,650 lbs, all the other trims have a max of 6000 lbs with the auto transmission with the exception of the Rubicon which is 7000.

Max tow is only an option on Sport, Sport S and Altitude package, with max tow rated at 7,650 lbs, all the other trims have a max of 6000 lbs with the auto transmission.
High Altitude cannot have the Max Tow package. Only Sport/Sport S and the now defunct "Freedom edition" trim levels have that as an option.

I didn't say "high altitude" clearly wrote altitude

My apologise, I thought that you meant "High Altitude", as clearly "Altitude" is not a trim level.

As I said, the only trim levels which have/had Max Tow as an option are:

  • Sport
  • Sport S
  • Freedom Edition
So, I am not sure what you mean by simply "Altitude".

Altitude is in the same category as Sport and Sport S, clearly Max Tow package is available on that trim as well, just not "high altitude" so you stand corrected, good day.

Interesting.

My data suggests otherwise. Additionally, I know of no trim level simply called "Altitude".

Do you have a reference for this?

add Altitude in your list, I don't believe the Freedom is even a trim anymore. Altitude is a trim too btw, just as the others you mentioned.
