Gladiator Sport 6M - HD Dana 44 axles??

[phsycle]

When I was casually shopping Gladiators last year, I understood in the Sport trim with 6M, you could NOT get the Dana 44’s. Only 30’s. The only way you could get D44 was to get the auto and tow package.

I was glancing at one today. It says 6M and HD D44 axles. Typo? Or is this new for 2021?

JTs have always had the HD D44s front and rear.

They are using D44's on all JT's, but the Max tow package comes with the "wide" D44's (and 4.10:1 gears). I don't think that's a change for '21.
I have a JT with Max Tow and have really been enjoying it.

Ok, guess my mistake. Maybe I was looking at JL specs.

So now that that is solved, when are you picking up your new Gladiator?

Not with my family of 5. Won’t fit. At least, comfortably. Tempting but it’d have to be a 3rd vehicle, which we don’t have room for.

But if I were to get a midsize, this would be a strong contender. I’d get the base Sport, then install ARB locker (s). 4:1 transfer case would be nice but not needed the places I go.
