This is where GM kicks Ford and Rams butz.
A 2500 GM truck can be had with a 11550 GVWR and even better is the 6600 RAWR.
I'm with MarkO. If I'm in the market to put a 3/4 ton size truck in commercial service or just need a 3/4 ton truck I look for one with the largest RAWR with a litest unloaded weight which gives the truck the most safe/legal payload for carrying heavy loads in the bed or heavy 5th wheel/GN/pintle trailer hitch loads.
Those payload stickers are based on a gvwr number which can overload some trucks rawr numbers if its all used in the bed.
But its hard to bypass a F250 with the camper or heavy service package or any Ram/GM or Ford one ton SRW trucks.
Only if you believe the numbers.
Bottom line, most any HD srw pickup will be similarly capable in payload.
