This has probably already been done, but if not, here is a quick comparison of Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), Payload, and Curb Weight (in pounds) between a gas Gladiator Rubicon and an Ecodiesel Gladiator Rubicon. These numbers will vary depending on options. For example, both these vehicles were similarly spec'd from the factory (hard top, bumpers, etc.). If you had a soft top, curb weight would go down, and payload would go up. These numbers were provided by Brad, from Trail Recon, and I posted a link to his video under the table. He starts the video talking about JL Wranglers; he begins the Gladiator comparison at 11:57 in the video. In summary, payload in the diesel is 200 pounds less, and curb weight is 400 pounds more.
