There are variations of 1/2 ton Dodge, Ford, and GM trucks that have payloads anywhere from 1400 lbs, up to 2300 lbs.
Up to 3120 lbs payload in the F-150.
The only ones with 3000 pounds of payload have seats for 3. And no one is going to stroll onto their local dealer lots and find any crew cab "half ton" with 2000 pounds of payload. 1300-1500 for most. 2014 GMs are higher more like 17-1800 for mid trim crew can 4WD trucks.
5 people in a crew cab pickup - been there done that got the 3-row SUV now to prove it. :)
OP, as you kick the tires and test drive any new potential tow vehicle, take a note at this sticker when you open the driver's door for the as equipped payload. Note what something you might be interested has where mine says 2051:
