So max towing or not.

[The Duck of Earl]

If multiple dealers are telling him he can't do it, then it's pretty meaningless what the online configurator says. Wouldn't be the first time it's been wrong.

The ordering system the dealers use are the real benchmark for what is or is not possible. If they can't input your configuration, you sure aren't going to get it.

I would not trust what the dealer says - only what their system allows them to configure for a real order.

Not saying the above isn't true, but if it is - that would be a disappointment.

I had not been looking at an Altitude (was confused what it even was as many others seem to be) but after configuring an EXACTLY same spec'd Sport S and Altitude Max Tow hard tops (with 8.4, ...) the Altitude was over $2k less.

How many sheets of plywood can that baby haul?

How many sheets of plywood can that baby haul?

it says VERY specifically on the door info panel...not for any legitimate truck tasks.

Most likely more than your Mojave (or my Mojave).

The Rubicon and Mojave have the lowest payload capacity, most likely because they are heavy and have soft springs.

Actually the high altitude can carry just a smidge less than the Mojave or Rubicon.

The reality is that the HA is no more dumb than the well optioned street oriented F150s you see. Which is all of them. Because even the "off road" factory trucks come with big wheels and small tires and have little to no ground clearance.

Also. A HA might be a reasonable place to start if you wanted to build an off-road truck that had a truly fancy luxury interior. Maybe not. But its a thought. Though as I run through costs, you would probably be. better off starting with an Overland.

Interesting.

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

Do you have a reference for this?

Actually I ordered the "Altitude" package for my new '22 Gladiator last week...

are all these numbers based on the most basic trim with zero options?? Because that does effect payload also. Curious because its an important thing to distinguish and this chart would be helpful.

There aren't any options on a High Altitude, Rubicon, or Mojave that significantly impact payload.

Sport, mayb.e.

My point is simply that the HA is just as good as other Gladiators at hauling plywood. I'd never own one, but it still serves its purpose as a light duty truck.

Meanwhile…that sport s starring us in the face with the additional 475lbs of cargo capacity. We all know who the clear winner is here. High altitude is a flashy mall crawler

I like how the HA looks, if someone has zero plans to modify it. Otherwise, I think you’ve spent extra cash on painted plastic bumpers and 20” wheels that will end up as takeoffs.

Shhhhhh dont point out the obvious. These will end up just like the rubicon. Buyers will take off all the shiny bits and sell them to the rest of us at their own loss. All we need to do is get the sport s max tow and snatch up the goodies we want.

irregardless if options cause a significant payload change or not its still important to compare apples to apples.

for example. A sport S with vs without the max tow package can probably cause quite the difference in payload and towing rating.

I still think anyone who will eventually want lockers or sway bar disco will spend less starting with a rubicon. Otherwise I agree.
