not sure why everybody bashes the "low" payload numbers of a HALF ton...as in 1000lbs. If you get anything over 1000lbs in a HALF ton truck it is bonus. If you need 1750lbs get a THREE QUARTER ton truck.
Those terms have been obsolete for at least 30 years- I can't quite figure out why we won't stop using them since they are virtually meaningless. My Jetta has a payload of 1100 pounds, and my 2500HD has a payload of almost 2 tons.
See, your Volkswagen has more payload capacity than some dodge rams. :)
