2) GM and Ford are/were both liars when it comes to their payload ratings. They each do/used to remove equipment (like bumpers, spare tires, radios, and center consoles) before weighing the truck so they can artificially increase the payload rating.

Those are for brochure/website/advertising. The TREAD Act tire and loading sticker is still correct, as equipped each vehicle. - ib516Explorer II

Why the heck such a large difference between USA and Canada on price?
You'd have to ask the manufacturers. They all do it. They prevent us from going to the USA to buy a new vehicle by threatening to remove franchise rights if any dealer is caught knowingly selling to Canadians, and they also refuse to honor the warranty. Dirty rotters!
It raises quite a ruckus with those who live close to the USA border (Toronto area, close to Detroit) and could save $10k by driving 30 min - especially when the dollar was at par. Right now, a CDN dollar is about $0.91 USD I think. - gmcsmokeExplorerthe cost of pesos

I'm speechless. That's why I'm typing. - ib516Explorer IILOL, I paid $58,000 and change CDN with invoice pricing. MSRP was $70,270!!!
- RKWExplorerAccording to Edmunds.com, a 2014 Dodge 2500 as described in your signature and equipped with the options I want (NO Auto Level Rear Air Suspension) is going for $36,964 USD after applying all current incentive and rebates. Invoice is $39,617, MSRP is $42,995.
- ib516Explorer IINo, it was unavailable when I ordered (Feb 2014). It was on the option list, but they had a "hold" on it for some reason. Some say supply issues, some say they were having issues with it. I don't know why, all I know is it would have delayed my order for an undetermined amount of time, so I unchecked that box and saved the $1500 or so. The coil suspension has been just fine though. It sags with the RV exactly the same as my 2007 3500 did, and inch and a half.
