There are only three packages you can add to the Sport. The Smoker’s Package adds a cigar lighter and a removable ashtray, costing $30.
The other packages are pretty helpful and not that expensive. The Trailer Tow and Auxiliary Switch Package includes a 240-amp alternator, heavy-duty engine cooling, a Class IV hitch, a feature on the infotainment screen that allows you to zoom into the hitch, and four programmable auxiliary switches. These auxiliary switches are a must if you plan on adding aftermarket equipment. Instead of fitting a cheap and awkwardly located switch for roof-mounted spotlights, you can connect the lights to one of these AUX buttons.
As mentioned, the Max Tow Package is $5 shy of $2,000, but it comes with that LSD, heavy-duty Dana 33 axles front and rear, daytime running lights, all-terrain tires, a Class IV hitch, a conventional differential front axle, and speed limiter that won’t let you go past 110 mph.
The 2024 Gladiator comes with an increased 7,700-pound towing capacity, and if you add this package, the GVW Rating also increases to 6,500 lbs. This increases the maximum hauling capacity to 1,850 lbs.
By adding these options, the Gladiator is on par with other pickup trucks in this segment, including the Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma, and Chevrolet Colorado.
