1150 is probably soft top, stock sport options w/ smaller tires, etc.

What do you folks have on your payload stickers inside the Nighthawks? Manuals are saying 1150 but I'd like to know what's on the stickers "in real life". I just had a dealer send me a pic of a 2024 Willy's and it was 893 pounds payload! (four 200lb dudes= 800 pounds, so you could bring a total 93 pounds in the cab, in the otherwise empty bed, and on the trailer hitch, combined. "Truck shaped" is what it was... But Nighthawk seems great, and even the new ones on the 2025 Builder get you out the door for $45k in Fathom Blue with tow package. (Though will Stellantis factories be producing cars by then?)

You must have 13lbs of more options than I do! My only option was the standard tow package.

Thank you. Would love to see a few more if they're out there. Just found a great deal on a 2024 Nighthawk but it has a side decal I just couldn't live with and would want that removed ($400 for nothing, yet cheaper than other options). Waiting to get a pic of that sticker.

Two options, all weather floor mats and spray in bedliner. This one doesn't have trailer tow package.

You just need to change your perspective a little bit... think of how much more cargo you could carry when you leave the top and doors at home!

Wow.. that bedliner spray must be mixed with lead.

 

[RHINO79]

Bedliner material must be heavy!

Exactly

Has anyone figured out if the "sport suspension" on the 20's ... does anything? My wife's SUV has 20" and it's a rough ride, but nimble. Curious if the same is true here. People often say the Mojave w/ its big shocks rides the best, and the Rubicon the worst, but I haven't heard anything yet about the Nighthawk (and don't recall about the High Altitude w/ similar set-up). I'd be curious about on- and off-road manners.

I have a 23 sport and a 24 nighthawk and they ride identical.

I have a 2dr JL Willys. I changed the tires out to 265/70-17 (Grabber Atx), so, pretty close to these 275/55-20 Grabber AT sports... I honestly can barely tell the difference between the two as far as ride quality/cornering... so the suspension from these night hawks/high altitudes must do a pretty decent job compensating for the lower profile rubber.

I've always liked the grabber Atx, good tires!

Do you have 20" wheels? What psi are you running?

Hey. No, I'm trying to buy a Gladiator in the next week or two and am trying to make sense of the Nighthawk vs Sport S vs Willy's beyond the stated specs. I don't want a "street" Jeep, and with the rims and "sport suspension"-- and the just so suspiciously low MSRP's had me wondering what the catch was. A Sport S with body-colored flares and top is now a solid $10k more than the Nighthawk. I just don't want to find out they like threw springs from a Cherokee or some other leftover parts bin special and then I come along, buy it for the body match color parts, throw some new wheels and tires on there, and have a really sh*tty offroader because of the other parts you can't see. But, for my area and needs, as with most people, a stock Sport trim Jeep will do more than I plan on. I'm hoping the same is true for the Nighthawk, but also don't want to feel every bump even more so than a regular Jeep (of which I've owned three, just no Gladiators yet).
