Really? I think 1400-1600lbs for a midlevel trim Ram 1500 crew cab 4x4 is actually pretty decent. Switch to the Laramie Limited and the payload is horrible at 1000lbs. However for a base or midlevel truck I think what they offer is good. Keep in mind that while the payload IS lower Ram has the multi-coil rear end setup which I've noticed gives a much nicer ride especially on gravel roads.
Brings me to the question on how much payload do you really expect or need out of a 1/2 ton truck? Not that far back a 1/2 ton rated truck was exactly that - capable of hauling one-half-of-a-ton in the bed. N
Either way, I think if you need 2000lbs of payload on your truck than you would better off with a heavier 3/4 or 1ton.
Most recent test I read, the Ram 1500 had more payload than the F150 they were comparing it against.
