2500 Ram payload
I am buying a Ram Outdoorsman crew cab with the 6.4 Hemi and 4.10 axle. The Ram website states the payload is 2926. Does anyone know if this payload is true? I worry there is some small print or some...

On this 2013 Ram 2500 towing chart it's interesting that all the diesels have a GVWR of 10,000# and most of the Hemi engines are 8800#. So, were there different frames? Or was Ram just afraid to rate a diesel truck with 1500# or payload? Or, a Hemi at 3000#?
Also, interesting that throughout the chart "Cummins" is spelled as "Cummings". I guess I have to stop laughing at people calling it a Cummings diesel :)
2013, RAM only offered the 5.7 HEMI. The OP is looking into the 6.4 HEMI. Also in 2013, the 2500 series trucks still used the old Frame, it was only the 3500 series trucks that had the upgraded frame that we see in all the trucks today. Logically, I have no idea why the payload on the 5.7 was de-rated so much unless if they softened the suspension of the gassers by a lot. But this is on the old frame and I have no clue, as I never considered RAM until I read about the frame upgrade for the 2013 3500's which I now own.
See the newer sheet here 2014 spec sheet
Good catch on the "Cummings" bit.
