Tow capacity?

[Scott Branscum]

I'm stumped,

I have a 2023 gladiator sport with the tow package (not max tow). In my owners manual it says tow capacity for a sport and auto is 4500lbs. No mention of tow package (not max tow)

In the 2022 owners manual it says tow capacity for a sport/auto/tow package(not max tow) is 6000lbs.

So what is my tow capacity 4500 or 6000?

This makes no sense since 2023 and 2022 are identical models.

Is it possible they left the information out because of the recall on the clutch?

I'm not buying the 2023 Sport for some unexplained reason in actuality has a lower tow rating when equipped with the factory tow package than for similarly equipped 2020-2022 or 2024 models. Since there is no difference to be noted anywhere between the different year models in regards to driveline, chassis, suspension, or other componentry having bearing upon the tow capacity of the vehicle, the only explanation that makes sense is the '23 owner's manual has been edited in error (which wouldn't be the first time a Jeep OM had incorrect information included).

A 2023 Sport with automatic transmission and factory tow package has a 6,000lb tow capacity in stock form.

I agree, the best part is the 2024 manual doesn't even have a chart it says go to Jeep.com and find it under model specs. Which doesn't have a chart! Ha.

But I did find the 2024 Stellantis Gladiator spec brochure that now list all 2024 sports with v6 and automatic at 6000lbs.

So basically, it's 6000lbs with trailer tow package pre 2024. After 2024 all autos are 6000lbs

Jeep/Stellantis has the most unorganized towing specs of any manufacturer ever.
