Shouldn't the gvwr be different? In which case you could check the door jamb?

Edit: I just checked my door jamb. Gvwr is listed at 6250 for my max tow. I know that matches rubicon's but not sure if normal sport is the same?

There is also a max payload listed related to the tires. Maybe this is different? My 2021 max tow says cargo shouldn't exceed 1571 lbs.

I wonder if its anything like what Toyota did with the Tacoma's. They wrote the door jam sticker with the MAX GVWR and then added a little yellow sticker that says "vehicle GVWR reduced by ###".

Thanks so much for that build sheet website! My dealership got my Max Tow from another dealership and the window sticker was in french (not a problem...) and full of mistakes (problem!)... For example, it didn't say that I had the max tow package, but mentioned in the options the wide axles (with a 3.92 ratio???), the fenders and the bigger alternator. Although I was 99% sure I did indeed have the max tow package, I still had a little doubt from time to time. Just last week I was comparing my fenders with pictures from the internet and googling my alternator part number... :) Seeing the build sheet remove all my doubts! I can finally sleep soundly, knowing that I have indeed a Max Tow Package!!! ;)

Mopar used to have it on their website, and it was shown when I logged in. They removed that from the site after its accuracy was called into question here on the forum. I assume that's why they removed it, because the timing of it makes sense. Anyway is that the one you're talking about or is there something else I'm not aware of?
That would probably be it, I used it once.

If it is a Max Tow Fireworks go off and make a giant sign that says it every time someone looks at it....... At least that is how it feels around the forums lol

In other words it is like a person being vegan. Don't worry they will tell you!
I wish there was a different model name but there's not. What do you suggest we use when referring to Max Tow specs?

Don't know if it was mentioned, but max tow models also come with daytime running lights.
