Default Gear Question

I have a 2012 JKU Sport. How do I know which gears I have. 3.21 or 3.73? I read somewhere that the tow package came with the 3.73's. Are the 3.21's even sold with hitch?

You can get a build sheet from the dealer, or from the Jeep web site.

If you want to get a quick answer to your question...

Jack a front tire off the ground.
Rotate it by hand 2 complete revolutions as you
count the drive shaft revolutions.

If it rotates about 3¼ turns, you have 3.21 gears.
If it rotates about 3¾ turns, you have 3.73 gears.

Get the build sheet, the standard tow package comes with 321's, the max-tow comes with 373's. This is for the non-rubi models. when going to the rubi, 373's standard or 410's with the max-tow.

The other option, (spin and count), will leave no question.

The build sheet has a list of standard features and then the list of optional added features
