The gearing is better in a Rubicon or Mojave. Numerically, it just is. 4.1 > 3.73. That's why max tows (automatic) are at 4.1 and regular sports are at 3.73. A higher numerical gear ratio makes towing and hauling loads easier, on either transmission. You're multiplying more torque, making it easier to move heavy stuff.The gearing is even worse in the Rubicon or Mojave when paired to the manual. If you're going to tow frequently, get the auto.
