Best truck for Northern Lite 10-2

It's not just Ford. I went to the Ram website as I'm also considering another Ram. For 2019, just 3500s, the hauling capacity ranges from 3720# (Laramie Longhorn diesel crew cab SRW SB 4x4) to 7680# (Tradesman 6.4 Hemi regular cab DRW LB 4x2). With 358 variations and different hauling capacities. In the 3500 series alone!!

Agree, you'll never nail down anything definitive at their websites. My comments/observations are based on looking at door jam stickers on real trucks at various dealerships over the last 6 mo. or so. I've seen a few Longhorn/Limited Ram 3500 CC SB SRW diesels drop down to 3,500 lbs. of payload. Understandable in these top-of-the-line trim levels. The 2019 F350 CC SB SRW diesel with 3,380 lbs. of payload I'm referencing was a mid-trim level (XLT or Lariat). That same F350 truck in a top-of-the-line Platinum/Limited trim level is going to drop the payload down a few hundred more. I'm still convinced Ford must have a way to make these aluminum trucks more payload competitive with some kind of magical option--lol!
