Huge difference!

Payload capacity for the 3/4 ton Ram is about half that of the 1-ton SRW trucks which is similar to Ford.

I would not assume that you get everything with DRW with the Ram trucks. This is definitely not the case with GM trucks where with DRW you lose Stabilitrak electronic stability control and you lose trailer sway control.
