Well I test drove a 2016 Ram Tradesman diesel with Aisin on a dealers lot, it had over 4,000# payload from the yellow sticker. The reason is that the MAX GVWR of a Ford F350 SRW is 11,500#, MAX GVWR of a Ram SRW is 12,300#, so Ram starts with a 800# advantage.
Before you listen to those that say just bag it and go, look at what the loaded weight is on rear axle and make sure you have enough TIRE!
If you daily drive a F350 Crew Cab Long bed, going to a DRW would not be that big of change.
Back to Max 5er towing, has to do with pulling not carrying. As pointed out before it is not just RV's and that max is for the base level trim package AKA stripper model.
