It's a suspension limitation.I have doubts the 3500lbs rating is due to the government considering the Wrangler a convertible. If that was the case, how does the Gladiator get away with a 7000lbs tow rating when it has the same ability to lose doors and roof?
I think it's frame/wheelbase dependent mostly, but that's just my speculation.
The soft suspension in the Wrangler lets a heavy trailer sway too much. The Gladiator uses a variation of the Ram 1500 rear suspension which is much better for towing.
