Just went to the Chevy dealer today and regardless what is advertised about payloads in the spec sheets, there now is a sticker in the glove compartment on all new Chevys showing the cargo limit for a "slide in truck camper". So after I was talked out of a 1500 series truck due to payload issues and rightly so, now the new sticker now says 962 lbs weight limit and the 2500 series says 2082 lbs. Unless Im missing something here, I doubt anyone will be able to use these any more unless they have the lightest campers made. Guess that only leaves Ford as an option since Toyota and Nissan are also very light payload capacities. Not sure about Dodge.
Did you also look at Ford & Dodge trucks to see what their weight stickers read?
The conclusion posted in the subject line is based on a presumption that the other two major truck manufacturers do not have any similar weight limits on their vehicles. I don't want the to be a flame, but.... For a new member to post this kind of a conclusion, and not support it with any compelling evidence, seems rather troll-ish.
