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...

Ahh. Does your truck have any other options besides the Big Horn trim level? Those are not included in web site payloads. Ram Box and side steps are two of the heavier options for example, sunroof, floor mats, etc. They all add up to 267 pounds in your case.
I test drove two 2011 F-150 Lariat Supercrew 4x4 5'5' bed Ecoboost with Max towing packages. One had more extra options than the other which showed about 150 pound difference in B pillar payloads.
It has running boards that are part of the Big Horn package and should be included in the published weights. It has the towing package with some of the other electronic gear. It also has factory Line-Ex and the ram folding hard tonneau cover. The tonneau cover is fairly heavy and was not in the original vehicle package.
I'm comfortable with the factory specs but the B pillar sticker might disappear! :B
