2023 Jeep Gladiator Towing Capacity

With the only convertible top in the segment, the 2023 Jeep Gladiator has an unmistakable, iconic look—but can it really perform to the standard that Jeep owners have come to expect? Absolutely! The 2023 Jeep Gladiator towing capacity reaches as high as 7,700 pounds, and if you don’t feel like hooking up a trailer, you can handle up to 1,710 pounds in the truck bed. Those are both best-in-class ratings, in case you were wondering.

Of course, your precise capacities will vary depending on how you configure your truck! You’ll have lots of options, but our in-depth guide to the Jeep Gladiator towing capacity can help you move forward with confidence.

2023 Jeep Gladiator Towing Capacity

The 2023 Jeep Gladiator towing capacity starts at 4,000 pounds without upgrades, but you’ll encounter some important differences as you move down the lineup. In the first place, adding the Max Towing Package will increase the Jeep Gladiator towing capacity to its maximum of 7,700 pounds. If you’ve chosen the diesel engine over the 3.6L V6, your maximum capacity will be slightly lower, at 6,500 pounds.

If you need to move even more weight, it’s worth it to explore the RAM 1500 towing capacity, too.

2023 Jeep Gladiator Payload Capacity

The Jeep Gladiator’s payload rating will vary depending on how you configure your vehicle: in general, a model with a lighter curb weight will be able to accommodate higher weights in the truck bed. At its most capable, the Gladiator can manage payloads of up to 1,710 pounds. On the heavier end, the Jeep Gladiator’s lowest payload ratings come in between 1,120 and 1,200 pounds.

Which Jeep Gladiator Engine is Right for You?

The 2023 Jeep Gladiator is offered with two engines: 3.6L V6 that delivers 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, and a 3.0-liter diesel engine with 442 lb-ft of torque—yet another best-in-class rating. Both have more than enough passing power for daily drives in Hurricane or Cedar City.

As we’ve already seen, the diesel Gladiator can’t tow quite as much as the gas-powered model. However, if you have to drive long distances to reach your favorite campsites and off-road courses, you might appreciate that the diesel model gets up to 24 mpg in combined settings. The gas V6 gets up to 19 mpg combined.
