SRW 3500 Dodge work with a Arctic Fox 811
I have a 2015 Arctic Fox 811 short box camper, I'm thinking about upgrading my 2005 Ram 3500 (SRW) with a new 2021 Ram 3500. I really like the 811 but it is a very heavy camper, so my 05 has had a lot...

Go with a gasser and gain 600# payload.
This is a common misconception. Here's the data from Ram. The RAWR is the same diesel to gas, the FAWR is higher on the diesel, and the GVWR and Payload are higher on the diesel.
Don’t know much about ram, do they have that data showing same tranny in gas and diesel? Apples2apples would be netter comparison.
It’s it interesting as the base weight of gasser is so much lower. Where does the available payload go? Typo?
I assume they beef up the front suspension (springs, shocks, etc) to accomodate the heavier diesel. Maybe they overcompensate a bit and that results in the higher payload and FAWR of the diesel?
