Is the Overland trim option gone? That’s the answer and it’s rarely recommended. I have a Sport S and that’s also the answer. If you can find what you want with the Max Tow option then that’s a bonus. Anything else is overkill for this scenario. My opinion of course. *prepares to dodge the Rubicon and Mojave lovers*
The Overland is gone. The High Altitude was a dressed up Overland with the Wide axles and bigger wheels. I had the first fully loaded Overland my dealer received in 2019. I traded it in February for the last fully loaded High Altitude they received.

As someone whose 2021 max tow is currently at the dealer for a check engine light (misfire) at just under 30k miles I recommend the GX460 model.
2024 GX550 8k Tow Capacity

Willys (and yes, I'm biased).

Unless you think you'll actually use lockers and the sway bar disconnect. Willys gets you skids, mud tires, rear LSD, and rubicon shocks from the JL.

😮 well that’s unfortunate. I honestly stopped paying attention to the Gladiator after Jeep decided that “more screen is better!” More reasons to keep my 2021 even if I’m on my third rear axle because of the seal debacle!

Hi, I am new here and looking to buy a gladiator. I will only be using it for camping and regular roads, no off roading. In saying this I don’t like how it looks stock with the tires, so I will want bigger tires which I think will require lifting it.

based on this is the sport ideal for me? Or I heard the sport ultimate tow package?

I don’t want to buy the wrong one and having to spend more money to accomplish my goal. Any help would be appreciated
Hello, I have a 2021 Gladiator Sport with the Max Tow Package and Cold Air Intake factory. I wanted to pull also. Do yourself a favor and get the "Sport S" if you get a Sport. For the small price increase you get power windows and locks and a bigger Information Screen. Whatever model you get make sure it has the 4.10 gearing, most packages are 3.73's, which is a great gear, but for larger tires and towing you will want the 4.10's. I've towed a 20ft car trailer and old Jeep truck on it. I put the transmission in Manual mode and shift when I need. It worked fine, but I have a F150 that I will use from now on for that much weight. I have a fishing boat and utility trailers I pull otherwise with the Jeep. Pulling a Camping trailer would be fine I think also for the Gladiator. Enjoy your new truck, I sure like mine.

Anything outside of Mojave is wrong LOL
Do I detect some Mojave snobery 😂
I will say anything other than a Rubicon is a mistake ..lol
Rubicon means pinnacle or top .. whats Mojave mean ? Name for a 3 mountian range near Needles ,AZ, and indigenous people and a language. or desert .. technically speaking Jeep misspelled The name Mohave.
Mojave is the transliteration from the Spanish. If you are from AZ you should spell with and H , if from California spell with the J..
