..............Unlike the competition, Ram rates their payload including radio, console, and bumpers.
The Tire and loading info label is required by law on every truck since 2006.
The "Occupant and cargo must not exceed" number is calculated for EACH truck AS BUILT and has to be accurate within 10#.
So it includes the radio, console and bumpers!
Now there has been some interesting marketing of MAXIMUM payload ratings which WERE values from a stripped (but theoretically orderable) configuration.
Bottom line - check the label on the truck for the REAL number, regardless of manufacturer.
