My 2015 Ram Laramie longhorn 3500 DRW crew cab CTD 4x4 Long bed had 5655lbs. payload capacity with GVW 14,000. My 2017 Ram 3500 crew cab Laramie DRW CTD 4x4 long bed 5572 lbs. Payload capacity has 5572 lbs. payload capacity with GVW 14,000. Both trucks are the same with 32 gallon fuel and 5 gallon DEF. Not sure the why the difference with payload stickers. Trying to find and earlier link of an older post with my buddy's 2015 GMC 3500... 4x2!!... diesel long bed crew cab which I recall had a 300 lbs. less payload capacity on his 2015 model than my 2015 Ram.
Thanks for posting. My 2018 Ram should be here soon and I'm hoping for 5300#+ payload. Not that I need "quite" that much, but definitely need more than what I have now.
When I was shopping for 1 ton SRW I noticed that similarly equipped payloads for Ford was the lowest, then GM, then Ram the highest.
