Like I said, if Ram was more go and less show, I may be driving one instead of a F150 but I needed something that wouldn't be overloaded and beyond it's ratings before even hitching up the trailer.

I have been trying to compare the F-150 to the Ram and as I see it the payload capacities are very close. I compared the supercrew 4x4 ecoboost to the Ram big horn edition which had the 5.7 Hemi (as the diesel specs aren't out) and there is about a 200 lb difference. Maybe I am missing something but that just doesn't seem like enough to be a huge game changer?

Add the HD Payload to the F150 and it goes up to around 2,000 lbs. If you look at pickuptrucks.com's test of the Light duties you'll see the payload chart - F150 is tops and Ram is on the bottom.
