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 ...

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.
But read the fine print carefully... Many '3/4 ton' trucks have lower payloads than the heavy 'half ton' trucks.

With so many different configurations and packages available today, you have to look deeper than the fender badge to know what you're looking at.
My 2002 F250 7.3L diesel (crew cab 4x4 short bed) had a whopping payload of ~1400lb. A modern F150HD can boast several hundred more than that.
Even my current 2008 F250 gasser has a payload of 2464lb, which IIRC an F150HD can approach or even eclipse in certain trims.
