I am in a heated discussion with Ram hater. He says my actual payload is lower than what the door sticker says. I think that it is mainly because mine is higher than his Chevy. My sticker says not...
JUST GO WEIGH IT. takes a minute and you have your answer. I would guess that the payload figure could be higher than most actually are because of fluids and dealer installed options. Just go weigh it and end the discussion.
