Do I have enough goat?... I mean Ram......
As a preamble: I have a Ram 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi. I have the automatic 8 speed tranny... long story short... I'm rated at 8,150 towing, and 1,650 payload. It is what it is, and such shall it be.....

Don't forget, your truck's payload also has to include a full tank of fuel, as that is never considered part of the "dry weight." Obviously it changes between fill up and running on fumes. So multiply the fuel tank capacity in gallons, multiply by 7.4 to get the weight, and add that to the cargo you'll be carrying.
On the face of it, it looks doable to me.
I don't believe this to be true. Vehicle curb weights include full fluids, fuel is already accounted for and does not subtract from payload.
