2014 Ram specs finally come out
Dodge finally re-did their specs page and it finally represents the Hemi and not a base engine. The 8 Speed for the Hemi looks to be great. Finally a transmission that won't suck all the power out ...

The low payload might be the price one must currently pay for a coil-suspension pickup. Trading nice ride for payload is a good deal for some, not so good for others.
Nope, my 2008 Sport Trac V8 had IFS and IRS with coil springs and it had 1218 lbs (1288 lbs w/o 70# hard folding tonneau cover) of factory tread act sticker payload. The Chevy Avalanche as well as Suburban have coil springs with much higher payload.
In fact Rams axle/spring ratings are pretty high at 3900 lbs. So the limit on GVWR has to be braking, handling, chassis, or some other limitation.
