2020 Chevy payload
I can’t find out what payload is for 2020 Silverado crew cab diesel DRW LTZ because they aren’t out yet . Does anybody know the payload for 2019 same as mentioned above.

The 2020s duallys GVWR increased from 13000 to 14000. The truck itself is likely a little heavier, so you won't see the full 1000 as an increase in payload. probably 500-700#.
Historically the SRW was pretty much limited by the tires and springs, as the actual axle was the same. For 2020 though, the dually gets a bigger rear axle than the SRW.
So I suppose the actual axle rating will likely be higher. IOW, for those not stuck on the payload number, it can likely haul more. The 14K GVWR is probably conservative in this case.
So you take all of that, and look at some actual trucks payloads, and guesstimate from there. That will be your best ballpark figure.
You mentioned the 2019s.... If you are wondering if the payload will be higher in the 20s vs the 19s... That answer would be yes. And the 20s on paper should be even stronger than their ratings will show, because of the bigger rearend.
GM was not using the same rear axle previously. The axle tubes on the DRW trucks were twice as thick in DRW models. The gears and shafts might have been similar, but that doesn't tell the whole story. The difference between 1/4" wall and 1/2" axle tubes is not trivial.
OP: you will probably have about 6k pounds of payload. It may be a little more or less depending on options.- The 2020s duallys GVWR increased from 13000 to 14000. The truck itself is likely a little heavier, so you won't see the full 1000 as an increase in payload. probably 500-700#.

The trouble is that payload can vary so much that even manufactures to not included them in any specifications other than the door sticker. In other words they won't ball park the number because it's not real.
- I realize that I wanted to get a ball park.

payload capacity will be specific to each truck, depending on what it weighed when it left the factory, as equipped.
that's why they put a payload capacity sticker on the driver's door. any additional equipment, dealer installed or owner installed will lower that number.
