Ratings in lbs, as published by the manufacturer for the 2026 model year.
What lowers your Gladiator's real towing limit
- The 7,700-lb maximum applies only to Sport/Sport S trucks with the Max Trailer Tow Group, which brings the 4.10 axle ratio; a 3.73-axle Sport with the regular tow package is rated 6,000 lbs.
- Off-road trims tow less: for 2026 the Rubicon is rated 7,000 lbs and the Willys and Mojave 6,000 lbs.
- Through 2024, 6-speed manual Gladiators were rated only 4,000–4,500 lbs; the 8-speed automatic is required for the higher ratings.
- The 2021–2023 3.0L EcoDiesel topped out at 6,500 lbs, below the gas V-6's Max Tow rating.
The maximum rating assumes a specific, lightly loaded configuration. Three other limits apply on every tow, and the first one you hit is your real limit:
- Payload. Passengers, cargo, accessories and the trailer's tongue weight all count against payload. The payload figure on your door-jamb Tire and Loading Information placard is the one for your exact vehicle.
- Tongue weight. A conventional trailer typically puts 10–15% of its weight on the hitch, so a 5,000-lb trailer adds roughly 500–750 lbs to the truck or SUV. The hitch receiver has its own tongue-weight limit, printed on the receiver label.
- GCWR. The gross combined weight rating caps the loaded vehicle plus the loaded trailer. Every pound of passengers and cargo added to the vehicle comes off the trailer weight you can pull at GCWR.
Always stay within the lowest of these limits for your specific vehicle.
