The maximum Jeep Gladiator towing capacity of 7,700 pounds is incredible1 – putting it firmly at the head of gas-only midsize truck towing.2 This capacity is plenty for campers, small vehicle haulers, or utility trailers. However, the Jeep Gladiator can only tow this much with specific trim levels and configurations – other trims stay extremely competitive by towing between 4,500 and 7,000 pounds.1
At San Antonio Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, we're confident in the incredible versatility of this gas-only pickup. Let's see what it has to offer.
As shown in the above chart, while the Jeep Gladiator can reach a towing capacity of 7,700 pounds, your specific model can be anywhere between 4,500 and 7,700 pounds.1 Even with its standard configuration, you can still hitch plenty of gear to your Jeep Gladiator: towing a camper, dolly, or trailer is straightforward.
"Tongue weight" refers to the amount of weight that a trailer's tongue (the part of the trailer that connects to the hitch) is applying to your truck. This weight is special, as it both subtracts from your towing capacity and your payload capacity. Generally, you want a trailer's tongue weight to be 1/10th of the total trailer weight.
Let's use an example. The Jeep Gladiator has an impressive maximum payload limit of 1,720 pounds with the Sport S.3 If you have a 4,500-pound trailer, you should have a tongue weight of 450 pounds. That means your truck's effective payload becomes 1,270 pounds – tons of room for your vacation gear, but a notable difference.
While the maximum towing capacity can be a handy measure of how much control a Jeep Gladiator grants you, the model's tech features are just as important. Your Jeep Gladiator comes with a variety of standard and available tow aids, including:
However, where the Jeep Gladiator towing capacity really makes a difference is with its various unique amenities. For instance, few midsize trucks can tow as much as the Jeep Gladiator while also being prepared for off-roading adventures: the Mojave trim can tow 6,000-pound campers1 to Lost Woods or Anawana Camp with no worries about rough gravel trails or small rock obstacles.
Say you want to bring your fishing boat to Canyon Lake, but you're worried about obstacles like branches or your door getting stuck on a boulder. The Jeep Gladiator has tool-free door removal (unlike similar models such as the Ford Ranger or the Toyota Tacoma), so you can get out of a sticky situation – or take off the doors and relax in an open-door chassis and let nature in.
If you're looking for other places to bring your midsize truck, our Jeep Gladiator Texas Trail review can guide you to some memory-making locations.
If you're a frequent hauler of medium-sized trailers or light vehicles, or enjoy off-roading with a small camper, consider the Jeep Gladiator. Towing a boat, travel trailer, or even a horse is well within its capability, as we'll happily show you at San Antonio Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram. As an extraordinary vacation vehicle, every midsize Gladiator takes on any task with signature Jeep brand flair.
