So, once again, if the OP is talking about the NEW Ram 1500s, as in 2019 model year, which are just becoming available, their payload has been improved. And they now also sport 6 lug axles just like everybody else.
The OP asked a question about 20 rims being the reason behind the low payload numbers of a non-2019 truck.
His question about 20 inch rims was not quoting a 2019 spec, hence the reason why I stated 5 lug axle and linear rate coils being the limiting factor on the payload numbers he was referring to.
