The 2020 Jeep Gladiator with the Max Tow package can tow up to 7,650 pounds.
That rating applied to properly equipped Gladiator Sport models fitted with the available Max Tow package. The package was more than a hitch upgrade: it included a 4.10:1 rear axle ratio and hardware intended to support the truck’s higher towing limit. The result made the Gladiator one of the strongest tow-rated pickups in the midsize segment at launch.
The standard Gladiator used a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 producing 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Buyers could choose a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic, although the maximum rating depended on the exact configuration and equipment.
The main mix-up is treating 7,650 pounds as the capacity of every 2020 Gladiator. Other trims and drivetrain combinations had lower limits, and the rating assumes proper equipment and loading. “Max Tow” therefore identifies a specific package-and-configuration result, not a universal Gladiator specification.
