Dodge ram payload
I have to ask this...how can my Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie with the 5.7 HEMI, and trailer tow package with the 3.92 axle have a cargo weight of only 1,100 lbs? This is the lowest I have read of any vehicl...

My 04 Ram 1500 Laramie has a payload of 1600 lbs. Maybe it is the coil suspension on the new Rams. Mine has rear leaf springs.
It's not the springs, it's simply interpreting the sticker on the B pillar incorrectly as being total payload instead of payload per each tire for that specific application.
My 'tire' sticker states 1218 lbs payload including passengers and loads. So that would be times 4 or 4872 lbs plus the curb weight of the truck which is 5300 lbs for a total of 10172 lbs. My tire Goodyear capacity is 2601 lbs each or 10404 lbs in total.
