Impressive numbers...I would also like to see Payload info on it.

2014 Diesel Supplement Manual shows Max Payload: 1,520 lbs

pg 58.

Wow, that is a HUGE bummer. I'm sure their are some people for whom this is a good truck, but I'm not impressed at all. My Tundra has more payload AND tow rating. Gas mileage won't be as good, but its not worth the upgrade price to get lower payload and lower tow rating for a couple better mpg's. Any word on a price yet? Still seems to me that a base model 3/4 ton is a better option...

That 1500# payload is right in line with every other 1500 series truck, other than the HD F150 with the 8200# GVWR package. No bummer at all.

On price, they have said the diesel will be ~$2800 over the Hemi IIRC.
