Short bed trucks will have a bit more payload than a long bed when both have the same cab/engine/tranny/etc configurations.
The 2019 RAM towing chart I linked above does not support that statement.
Looking at mfg GVWR based payloads your probably right ...however if you had read the rest of my reply it deals with actual payloads based on the trucks RAWR as its carrying all the weight in the trucks bed.
Most long bed trucks rear axles can weigh from 70-120 lbs more than the same short bed giving the short bed a bit more payload.
I'm talking same trucks with the same cab/drivetrain/std and option packages.
Legal weight opinions on a RV website are a hoot.
