OK some research then.
Dodge certainly sees it differently than you do.
They rate the 2014s wayyyy higher..
Perhaps you should get a job with Dodge as you seem to know more than they do.
You didn't do enough research, seeing a trend here, and yes they are rated higher but not much in the RAWR and FAWR department, just the GVWR.
None of those have any effect on what a DRW does over a SRW.. that comes down to tires right? I mean that's everyone's argument, width for stability and 2x the sidewalls. The 2014 is the SAME as a 2008, or even a 2003 in that aspect.
1,700lbs more GVWR is now wayyy higher, it's 13.8%. It's also not a BIG difference, it's a well deserved increase but it is NOT a reason to say a 2008 isn't comparable.
All of this info is out there from Dodge/Ram.. so research the whole thing, not just what you want to find.
