Just looked my truck up on the mopar site...

yea they sure have figured out how to turn us gladiator owners against each other !

Do you have a 2021? For 2020, I have yet to see a sticker payload higher than the book! NOT MARKETING - I mean the OWNER MANUAL.
We've proven those marketing things wrong in other threads last year.

I wonder if it affects the sales of overland because they come in under the 6000 lb GVWR mark and can’t be used as a tax write off. I saved almost 10 grand in taxes in 2019 because I purchased my gladiator. That was the easiest sale on getting her to buy anything lol.

Oh don't get me started! It was almost the deal killer for me. I was thinking I would be doing that deduction because I drive it for my sales and real estate investments. But dang it that door sticker (there we go with that doggone door sticker again!) said 5,800 lbs GVWR. I even called my accountant, and after some discussion I decided to just take the mileage because it's a lot and would end up being about the same savings over the years without having to keep track of so many receipts. That freed me up in my mind to get my truck, but I've got to say I still wonder if that was the smartest move tax-wise.

Oddly enough, Payload seems to be the one thing you CAN'T find in the owners manual. The owners manual for my 2020 JTR has GCWR, Frontal Area, MAX Gross Trailer Weight, Max Trailer Tongue weight. No payload though.

However, the owners manual specifically outlines these values as Maximums and since these values align to the spec sheet I had posted in a previous comment, it could be assumed all values listed in that spec sheet area also maximums as their values align with these.

With that educated assumption, you could chose to apply that theory to the payload values in the spec sheet thus stating those are maximum payload numbers. However, @danielspivey and myself have already shown that our payload numbers are greater than those shown in that spec sheet.

So which numbers are to be believed?

With something so critical, yet seemingly easy to define, why is there such an issue giving clear, consistent values to the customers?

Everyone,

Please refer to the inside of your door, as well as your Owner's Manual, for accurate towing information.

If there was a discrepancy in the towing numbers shown on the Mopar site in comparison with the aforementioned materials, please message us with your VIN.

First the door jamb sticker never mentions tow rating numbers and second it appears almost every one has discrepancy between the Mopar website per the specific VIN and what is provided for everyone generically via the owner’s manual.
The only question I believe was whether Mopar site was providing accurate info per the specific VIN, and if not, where does this disinformation originate and why does Mopar publish it?
So it appears you are saying the website is wrong and should be ignored? Just want an official clarification, thanks.

I sent @JeepCares my vin, what the book says (printed and PDF version) and a shot of what the MOPAR dot com site shows me a few weeks ago. A difference of 331 pounds.
We'll see what they say.

As you said - the door jamb sticker does not show TOWING capacity, it only shows axle ratings, GVWR and payload.
I triple-checked that.

I sent them a PM too... lets see how this goes! My guess is weeks before we hear back... if we hear back. If by the faintest chance we do hear back, I imagine it’ll be something like “refer to the specifications of your manual” and not address the website data.
