The new Colorado CC 4x4 has 200 lbs more payload than my CC 4x4 1/2 ton Silverado. The Colorados bed is longer than mine although narrower.

I think rjstractor was talking about the new mid size trucks and not full size when it was mentioned that todays trucks fall short.

my bad, been a long time since I owned a 1/2 ton truck, but I knew the beds were narrower and I DID tow a 5er with a 1/2 ton, never would have thought of doing that with the smaller truck, (and really, at the time, shouldn't have done it with a 1/2 ton...thus my first venture into a 3/4 ton truck:)).


Again, the statement was made that the "mini trucks" had more bed and payload....that was a broad statement that would possibly cover a few 1/2 ton trucks, but we're talking 2014/15 trucks, so I still say a long bed regular size pick up has more bed and more payload comparing new trucks, as we are, to new trucks.
