What Is The 2021 Jeep Gladiator Towing Capacity?

Jeep has launched the all-new 2021 Jeep Gladiator, its pickup truck, and many are wondering about its towing capacity. This Jeep pickup truck can tow a maximum of 7,650 pounds, making it perfect for towing campers and boats on the weekend. The load a Jeep truck can tow will depend upon the powerhouse chosen by you. The capacities engine-wise are listed below:

  • V6 EcoDiesel 3.0-Liter: Maximum towing capacity of 6,500 pounds.
  • V6 Pentastar 3.6-Liter- Offers up to a gas towing capacity of 7,650 pounds.

The Jeep Gladiator for the model year 2021 delivers a payload of 4X4 1,700 lb, which is the best in the class if it is properly equipped. Thus, it can carry bulky loads as simply as it can tow them. If you are planning to tow smaller vehicles such as a mid-size pickup truck, it is imperative to set up the trailer properly. It is even more crucial to load the trailer appropriately as the weight of the trailer can get close to the tow vehicle’s maximum rating. 

So, it is evident that the maximum towing capacity of the Jeep Gladiator is around 7,650 pounds if it is properly equipped. At the same time, the actual towing capacity of the Jeep Gladiator will depend on an array of factors. These include the trim level chosen and other equipment selected by you. Models that are powered by the V6 Pentastar 3.6-liter engine produced a horsepower of 285 and a torque of 260-pound feet. The Jeep Gladiator with the V66 EcoDiesel 3.0-liter engine creates a horsepower of 260 and a torque of 442-pound feet. The 3.0-liter engine is suitable for towing up to 6,500 pounds.
