Assuming our suspensions are the same and the Diesel engine is heavier, why would a Willys diesel payload be 1114 lbs and a Willys gasser automatic be 961 pounds?

Sorry, no offense, but I see everyone is still missing the points.
It's not about "suspensions being the same" and engine weights..

Your diesel will have different springs, likely- or should have - different shocks, and are the steering knuckles the same?

Again, you can't simplify by "what are the springs and how much does it weigh".
These have to go through engineering tests - and perhaps the diesel fares better at certain tests - maybe acceleration under load, going up hills under load...........

They don't put heavy springs under these and say - there, now we can put a bigger number on it, they don't weight it and say there, this one is lighter because of the gas engine, bigger number goes on the door sticker.

If the two trucks were IDENTICAL in every way (engines, transmissions, GEAR RATIO, steering knuckles, brakes, and more) except options that add weight, then you'd be close.........

Makes sense because the HA is a dressed up Overland in some ways - aimed at a totally different market than those who wish to haul big loads and heavy trailers.

Marketing.......... who is what level aimed at and how much would the majority it's aimed at care about payload or towing.

@ecidiego @Jaxmax @Spaceguy @Dark_Iron_Mojave @Challenger85

I seem to recall from one of the gazillion other threads on this subject that buying the trailer tow package on the Mojave raises the rating----which is why I bought it. Do you guys have that option?
Oh yeah. '21 Mojave, auto, selec-trac, 8.4" radio, LEDs, cold weather pkg, front cam, freedom top, bed liner, tow pkg, aux switches = 1071 payload.

This is not a mystery. The difference between the cargo ratings shown here is the difference in weight of the vehicle itself, including equipped options, it all adds up. The MaxTow has a bigger axle, thus it has a larger cargo capacity over a Sport S with tow package, given all other options are the same. Add the axle GVWR and subtract the cargo payload rating and you are left with the weight of The truck, less axle and wheels.
cheers

The dual top group will drop your payload rating on the sticker as well, as they calculate in the weight of both. This shows that the payload number may not be accurate for how you’re rolling down the road. I know I don’t usually carry around both tops at the same time.

I think people are worrying far too much about the payload number on the sticker. That number is just based on exactly how your Jeep rolled off the factory floor, plus 150 lbs for driver, subtracted from the GVWR. What that means is the thing that matters is not exceeding that GVWR. So if you’re concerned, load up your Jeep and head to the scale. If you’re under GVWR your payload is good, regardless of how the weights of your actual payload and the listed payload on the sticker compare.

(Obviously tow ratings matter as well if you’re towing, but that’s not the subject of my comment.)

Jeep site says 1700 payload for my JTW. Kinda consistent with that my manual says I can have a trailer tongue weigh of up to 600 lbs.

But my sticker says 961 lbs payload!
Does the weight of the fuel count towards payload?

will filling the bed with helium balloons help?!?
