Performance, Powertrain, and Trail Capability

Maximum towing capacity reaches 7,700 pounds when properly equipped. Maximum payload capacity exceeds 1,700 pounds, depending on configuration. Trailer sway control and an available trailer brake controller help maintain control under load.

If you are serious about trail work, the Gladiator Rubicon includes Rock-Trac 4x4 with a 4:1 low-range transfer case, steel rock rails, and aggressive approach and departure angles. Mojave trims are tuned for desert running, emphasizing speed and suspension travel rather than rock crawling.
