After test driving it, i noticed the GVWR was 8500, and the payload around 1500. (both numbers approx, but pretty close) I immediately crossed it off my list of potential trucks.
My question is, why rate a 2500 truck that low?
It's a purpose built truck with the use case of extreme off-roading. It's not a desert pre-runner style like the raptor, but meant for slower more technical courses like Moab. To tackle those environments, it needs a softer suspension along with greater axle articulation. Both of these needs run contrary to what helps make a good tow vehicle.
