My 2015 Ram 6.7 Cummins diesel crew cab long box SRW has a net payload of 4300. To get to the 6k you need a dually.
Truck weighs about 8000 lbs empty with a GVWR of 12,300.
It's a moot point now, that truck will be sold by tomorrow anyway.... :(
Well OP was speaking of 3500 SRW HEMI, if tradesman and regular cab LB might close to 6,000# payload. Gas engine gets close to 1,000# more payload than a diesel.

This payload topic is a joke. The weight of both engines are mostly on the front axle. All that matters is the actual rear axle weight of them. So take their unloaded rear axle weight and subtract from their RAWR. This method is used best for 5er application as virtually all the pin weight goes to the rear axle.
Campers are a different animal.
