Question:
I have a 2023 jeep gladiator rubicon and can only find the 5,000 pound receiver that you offer. Are their any other hitches that have a class 4 rating ?

The highest capacity hitch for the 2023 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon is going to the Curt item # C74DR Class III hitch. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Gladiator with included hardware. I am not sure if it was an option from the factory but they do not make aftermarket class IV hitches for the Gladiator Rubicon's.
The Curt item # C74DR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 7,500 lbs towing capacity, and a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight, which can be increased to 8,000 lbs and 800 lbs if used with a weight distribution system. This will be the highest capacity hitch available for the Gladiator Rubicon. The item # CU74FR you were looking at tops out at 5,000 lbs and you have to drill a hole in the bumper.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56407 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
