My numbers are right off the charts linked in a previous post, which clearly state they are MAXIMUMS. Maximum means to me that the least optioned truck in that configuration will eek out this amount of payload. Real world numbers are going to be lower. Reality, not bias.
For example, if you look in the Ram charts, my truck's payload is listed as 3430#. My truck's actual payload is 3040#. Brochure vs reality.
Much like RV dry weights. Brochure vs reality.
Some may be dumb enough to buy into the numbers from an advertising webpage or a glossy brochure. Then there are those of us that prefer facts.
