The main problem if you have a US Pickup and want to drive it using a car licence it has to be under10,000lbs. As a result a RAM 1500 Wwould have no payload, a 2500 about 1700lb but a 3500 has a basic light truck licence no restrictions. Although ADR registration takes 6000lb from the GCVWR compared to the US
I got that info from a link in the very same article you quoted in your original post. So that Australia site is truthful when it fits your narrative, but not truthful when it doesn't. :h
This is the airticle you quoted from
Payload limits RAM 1500 towing capacity
In the third from the last sentence where it says "as we outlined here." is a link to the article I posted.
The truth about 3500kg towing
The truth is the truth whether you want to believe it or not. Some trucks are limited by government regulations and not their actual abilities while other aren't. This limitation is generally due to their own weight versus the max weight of the class they are in. These are facts.
The first part was what i quoted. Net effect
RAM 1500 cannot tow anything. 2500 is pretty restricted for a diesel
