Is the Ram 1500 finally catching up with the competition?
This pickuptrucks.com article shows a Megacab mule. The thing that caught my eye was the 6 lug wheels. Maybe they're finally trying to compete in the payload category.

Well Fords got aluminum & a 10 speed, and a revised 302 riding on stick slip bounce & dart leaf springs that go back to horse & buggy.
Chevy had a revised SBC & the joint 10 speed also riding on leaf springs.
Seriously the 3.5 EB is a heck of a motor, but just like any gasser is hard on fuel when worked like a truck. Also GMs DI 6.2 is a heck of a motor... But to be fair RAM has the legal payload of a bicycle handlebar basket.
Toyota has known dependability. You just can't afford to drive them because they suck more fuel than anything else.
Nissan Tundra.. No they have not gone the way of The AMC Rambler. Yes they still make them & someday they are going to sell one. They have a new diesel.. It sucks fuel like the big diesels but doesn't make anywhere near the power.
Nissan don't build a Tundra that's why you don't see them.
Ram will haul just as much as the others, their "legal payload" is just as much as the others. The "manufacturer payload" is the only thing that is lower.
What are you calling legal and manufacturer payload?? Especially since these aren't commercial DOT trucks and none of that matters, only the weight rating of the plate. The manufacturer's GVWR and axle ratings can be used in civil court though.
This post can be used in civil court.......
