Towing Payload

[APetersen]

Anyone clear why the overland has 1230 lb payload while limited is 1410lb? The difference in curb wt doesn't add up and I feel like with 500 lbs on tongue and four adults with luggage I'm going to max out payload before my trailer wt ever becomes an issue.

Differences could be skid plates, leather vs. cloth, tow hitch, etc. Wheels could also be a factor. 190lbs really isn’t much when you think about all the extra features included in the Overland trim.

Could be because the Overland has Air Suspension and the Limited does not?

the payload capacity has nothing to do with the towing capacity

You are incorrect, payload is quite important to towing.
