2014 GM/Chevy 1500 Twins

Just saw an add on TV last night showing some 'best in class' towing numbers on the new '14 1500 twins of over 10k lbs that caught my attention. Does anyone know the 'real world' payload on these trucks? As some of you know I still haven't got a newer truck yet and have been dreaming of 20+ mpgs... Yes I know Fords are good with the HD payload package but just not a Ford fan (I do think they are nice trucks, just didn't 'feel' right when I drove them).. Sorry for the longer post but my question is if anyone has a '14 1500 GM 4x4 crew cab and what kind of real payloads they have... When is the 6.2 coming out or has it hit the dealers already? Thoughts?

Thanks!

    Check these numbers out ... just as "real world" as any.


    So you really believe that your truck weighs exactly what the manufacturer states as a curb weight? Are you interested in some real estate perhaps? The OP is doing his due diligence and not relying on published data which has been found to be generic and has a variance depending on options.

    Sorry - guess I was hoping for some door stickers.. ;) I've found the numbers online but it seems they are usually 200-400 lower in person... But thanks!


    Door sticker numbers subtract the actual weight of options - but the advertising shows 'basic stripped model' - that's why you usually can't find it in person. No one buys the basic stripped versions.


    Yep - that was my point exactly... The brochures show over 2000 lbs payload (with the max trailering package - which doesn't seem available yet) and I was wondering if anyone had one of these yet and and what it really had.. :)
