New 3/4 CC Dmax payload cap terrible!
I'm researching tow vehicles, and I discovered that when a 2014 Silverado 2500 HD is configured w/Diesel, Crew Cab 4x4 and Long Bed, the payload capacity drops to a pitiful 2552 lbs. Which basical...

For $600-1000, I highly recommend people just get the SRW 1-ton for 800-1500 pounds more payload over 3/4 ton.
While that might be the difference on paper, the difference on the a dealer's lot is a whole lot more. In AZ the large number of 2500 series on the lots are discounted off MSRP a whole lot more than the few 3500 series trucks on those same lots. Pick any brand you choose, it seems to be the same story. If you order then you will forgo some of those "dealer" discounts, so the decision becomes a bit harder than just a few hundred dollars.
FWIW, my 2500 has a payload of 2468, just like the OP indicated. It does our family just fine and we are not overloaded. We did a 4000 mile trip with our TT this summer traveling to Rushmore, Yellowstone, Zion and home. TT handled just fine and with the stuff in the bed we carried I would not have wanted a 5th wheel.
