I love these show me your payload sticker threads.
The Titan XD is a beast. I look at those payload stickers and just kinda laugh at them...they are literally meaningless and only matter on the day these trucks are manufactured.
I test drove a 2014 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 crew cab Hemi this past weekend. Had my two man sized sons and my father with me...none of us are under 200 lbs...the sales man rode with us on the test drive as well...that was at least 1100 lbs of humans.... truck was awesome...handled amazing ... powerful...fast...cornered great. After the test drive I looked at the silly payload sticker and it said 950 lbs. According to RV.net I was a danger to society being 200 lbs overloaded...the real world said that truck wasn't even phased by the 1100 lbs in the cab. It would have comfortably handled 600 lbs or more worth of hitch weight with a weight distribution hitch and wouldn't have even blinked.
I once looked at a Ram 2500 MegaCab 4x4 Laramie Longhorn CTD with all he options (including fifth wheel prep) ...the silly sticker said 1750 lb of payload...I posted that fact here and someone pointed out that 1750 lbs in the bed would literally not even squat the truck. That fact is reflected in these silly payload stickers on the Titan XD as well...put 1500 lbs in the bed and it will barely squat.
Thanks!
