They are older models, not all have 3,000 payloadslb just like not all F150's have 3,300lb payloads.He has cherry picked, the Ford / Mazda have 3,000lb payloads but remember these are " 1 tonne" Pickups so they have to have. 2,200lb payload model.
The New Navara has 3,500kg towing or 7,700lb, The old Hilux had only 5,500lb, now 7,700lb.
So name me the year, make, model, and trim of a dual cab global pickup that had a payload of 3,000 lbs and a tow rating of 8,000 lbs. Just one is all I need.

U.S. Towing firgures and global,are not compatible a F250 HD with a diesel has a rating here of 4,500kg or 9,900lb, you can up grade to 5,000kg or 11,000lb a lot less than the U.S. Figures
That earlier Nissan had a 6,600lb rating but also a 405lbs ft Diesel, it could tow a 29ft 5ver
The reason why the payloads on our F250s are less there have a lot to due with the people making the conversion among many other things like laws and regulations. It DOES NOT have anything to do with trucks not being compatible. I have told you this time and time again with proof yet you keep stating this.
You know what, lets go by this standard you keep stating and apply it to your trucks here. All these global trucks that have a 2,200 lbs payload there would have a payload of less than 2,000 lbs. In fact most would be around 1,500 lbs payload depending on their weight and that es before any kind of conversion is done. Since you say that our F250 have less payload over their because they are "not compatible", does these mean that your global trucks have less of a payload here because they are "not compatible"?
Also, these global trucks would not pass our SAE tow rating to be able to tow the 29 ft trailers here due to the minimum speed while towing requirements. So what does that mean going by your analogy of our converted truck over there? Could it be that the limit is due to each country's regulations rather than abilities like I have been telling you all along.
