Are you sure Max tow comes with limited slip automatically? I don't recall that when I was ordering my 2012 JKU sport. I got max tow with 3.73 but not limited slip. I did t want limited slip because I read about how effective the brake lock differential system is that comes standArd.

Max tow is not standard with ls. Its an 295 upgrade.

Limited slip is NOT standard with Max Tow.



Mechanically....no difference between the Sport and Sahara.

But I guess it depends on how detailed you want to get.

The Sahara has better shocks, auto headlights, 115V outlet, hood insulation, ect..., along with options for other stuff....but it isn't like it has a different transfer case or axle ratio.

The best way to determine what a Jeep has (unless you order it yourself) is to have the dealership print out a build sheet with the VIN number. The sales people typically don't know what is on one.

Call Chrysler customer service. They faxed and emailed a copy for my last Jeep (08). They were very helpful and knew exactly what I wanted
