Oops, Dodge just threw you under the bus...
For the first time the latest commercials from Dodge are now calling their Half ton Dodge Ram's "Light Duty Pickups". The commercials don't verbally say so but the print on the screen is quite clear. ...

This is one reason why I never understood all the hate on this site for the Tundra. Sure, it didn’t have the highest payloads of 1/2 ton trucks but it was always more than the Ram, yet no one complained about the Ram.
Hate ?? I've been a rv.net member since '03 and have never saw all this hate you refer to.
Now what I did see and still see is some Tundra owners bilge about the Tundra being equivalent to a 3/4 ton truck which it isn't. It is a good stout 1/2 ton truck with small 4xxx lb rawr which carries the load in the bed like rv folks do. More experienced truck owners pointed out the differences.
The Ram 1500 LD has been on Rams Body Builder website for several years so nothing new there.
Low payloads come from low GVWRs but isn't indictive of the trucks actual/legal/safe load carrying capacities.
We can go through any LDT makers weight specs and find a certain configured truck with a low payload number....or a high payload number.
What payload one sees on a certain brand dealer lot isn't indicative of all trucks of the same brand.
