Max Payload vs. Pin Weight (Ford, Ram, Chevy)
Hi, I recently bought a new 5th wheel and truck to tow it. I got a 40 foot Open Range with a 2500 pound pin weight. I was looking at fairly loaded SRW long bed diesels from Ford, Chevy and Ram...

Not sure what exactly you have, but as far as I know for that kind of payload a Ram has to be a gas engine, not a Diesel. IIRC the max payload on a Diesel is a little below 3200lbs.
Nope, Ram 3500 6.7 SRW are consistently near or above 4000 lbs. When I get my oil changed at the local Ram dealer it takes about 1 hour. I spend part of that time grazing the lots looking at trucks. Every 3500 SRW I see has 4000+/- lbs on the door sticker.
