GM, Ford Fudging Payload Ratings

Again...been saying the 'curb' is the 'stripper' for years and years...

Ben, with all due respect, this revelation from Ford and GM does not prove your point. There is a big difference between using a base model truck with no options and actually removing parts from the base model truck. In a recent thread, someone asked about a Nissan Armada payload, and you said the payload was calculated on a "stripper" Armada without power windows, power locks, etc. That is simply not correct, because Armadas all have power windows and power locks. The "stripper" model Armada has all of those things. Now, if we eventually discover that Nissan is removing the power window motors and power lock actuators just like GM is removing rear bumpers, then your point would be correct.
