2025 Jeep Gladiator vs. Toyota Tacoma: Towing Capacities

The 2025 Jeep Gladiator can tow up to 7,700 pounds, exceeding the maximum towing capacity of the 2025 Toyota Tacoma by 1,200 pounds. To achieve this, Ferguson drivers should choose the Jeep Gladiator Sport trim and equip it with the Max Trailer Tow Group package, which adds: 

  • A heavy-duty 240-amp alternator
  • Class IV hitch receiver
  • Heavy-duty cooling and programmable auxiliary switches

With an additional 1,200 pounds of towing capacity, you can tow anything from a small camper to a pair of jet skis! Before you tow anything, however, always review your owner’s manual for vehicle-specific instructions and correctly equip your vehicle to tow. Never exceed your vehicle’s GVWR. You can find GVWR on a sticker on the driver’s side door or in your owner’s manual.

2025 Toyota Tacoma vs. Jeep Gladiator: Infotainment 

The 2025 Jeep Gladiator provides the Trimble driver with a Uconnect® 5-powered 12.3-inch display and standard eight-speaker setup. By contrast, the Toyota Audio Multimedia system found in the Tacoma is paired with a smaller 8.0-inch screen and features only four speakers. 

Looking to upgrade the audio systems? Both vehicles feature available optional packages; however, there are differences in the upgraded audio systems. The high-end Alpine audio system, featuring nine speakers and an all-weather subwoofer, is available across the Jeep Gladiator lineup. In contrast, the 10-speaker JBL® sound system is only available on select Tacoma trim levels.
