Trim Notes

Max 7,700 lbs requires the 3.6L V6 gas engine with the Max Tow Package, 3.73 rear axle ratio, and automatic transmission on the Sport/Sport S trim. The EcoDiesel tops out around 6,500 lbs; higher trims (Rubicon, Overland) with larger tires have lower ratings.

⚠ Important

Tow ratings vary significantly by trim, cab configuration, axle ratio, and package. Rubicon models are typically limited to ~7,000 lbs. Always verify against the specific VIN's door placard and owner's manual.

◆ Gear you may need

Always confirm against your door-jamb sticker & OEM towing guide before hauling. Ratings vary by exact configuration.

Prose overview

The 2023 Jeep Gladiator carries a maximum towing capacity of 7,700 lbs when properly equipped, paired with a Class III hitch. As with every truck and SUV, the rating swings by engine, drivetrain, cab and bed configuration, and rear axle ratio — so two 2023 Jeep Gladiators on the same lot can be rated thousands of pounds apart. Match your trailer to the lowestrelevant limit (towing capacity, payload, GCWR, and hitch rating), and verify against the sticker inside the driver's-side door jamb.
