Yes a lot heavier, that is why the Mitsubishi with a small 2.4 Diesel, has more payload, than many RAM Pickup Trucks whilst towing 6,800lb
Seems you love to cherry pick. Anyone who uses a pickup truck as a pickup truck knows the 1500s are grocery getters just like the crew cab Mitsis are with useless 5' beds. My Ram 3500 SRW has a payload of 4,200lbs. No factory SRW pickup in Oz comes close and let's not even mention tow capacity or the ability to tow (and brake) 15,000lbs day in day out.
I respect the long bed Hilux and L200 pickups in ROW but let's not be claiming they can compete with a 3500 reg can long bed unless we're talking off roading or fuel economy.....
