How to order a 3500 to maximize payload?

Hi,

What options should I order to maximize payload on a gas Chev 3500 SRW 4x4? I plan on bed delete in favor of an aluminum flatbed to mount a truck camper(Hallmark Nevada 8.5') and in the spring and summer tow a 3500lb boat(weight includes trailer, fuel, and tackle.) Yes a DWR is the obvious answer, but I'd prefer not to.

Thanks,

Paul
  • Yes I know the options add weight and reduce payload. It'll be the LT, nothing extravagant w 18" E rated tires. "what options" is referring to camper pakages, etc. that will increase the payload.
  • You did say "...should I order to maximize payload..."

    Then order ZERO bling options

    Just a manual (if not available, then an automatic), AC, Tow package, plain Jane interior.

    Maybe a radio. No power door locks, no power windows, etc
