But, the Gladiator has 19" more length in wheelbase, 30" more length overall, and I'd bet a donut that the hitch bolts down both frame rails like all other pickup trucks. Very different from Wrangler where all you have is a crossmember to bolt to, which throws considerable torsional force onto the frame.A little off topic, but the new Jeep Gladiator has over twice the towing capability as the wrangler. You would think they would be a little closer being pretty similar.
Also should be noted that MOST Gladiators sold won't have anywhere near the 7,650 lb. towing capacity. Rubicons and loaded Overlands are far lower and manual transmission Sports are lower as well. Some as low as 4,000 lbs. towing.
