Many 15 series trucks have had a ton of payload for quite some time. depended upon the model......i have nearly 2 tons in my 2000 C2500. 300 lbs short of the CC dually dmax I had!
Personally, for my needs, I would like to see an 8000-8600 gvwr rig like i drive now. Do not really need the higher load carrying of the 9900-11500 SW rigs. Too much of a split between the typical 15 series rig with a max of 7200 gvwr........

Marty,
I'm with you that for the needs of daily unloaded use and some of my towing needs, a GVWR in that range should hit the sweet spot.
I'm getting ready to retire the 12 year old Frontier this year ( to become grandson's first vehicle ), and am thinking of the Titan XD as a replacement. GVWR of 8600 to 9000.
I've driven the new gas powered regular Titan ( not XD ) and must say I liked it as an empty ride. The Titan is still not selling real well in the segment, so there are some deep deal incentives offered to move them off the lot.
Hopefully this post will NOT trigger the usual suspects into a frenzy of "payload" dispute regarding the Titan. I am done arguing that point. I don't care about "payload", what I care about is being within axle and tire ratings, so those who want to argue P/L, keep it for someone else.
