My 2014 1500 is just shy of 2000 lbs per door sticker. I've run down the road per dot scale close to 8400 with out issues.
With that said, iirc Toyota used a 10.5" rear ring gear vs 9.5 or 8.5 in my case, as I have a V6, not an 8. Also typically a 4.10 ratio. Trans gears are taller overall. Reality, the GM typical 3.42 ratio and 4.5 2st gear in trans may be lower overall.
Reality, both should be similar in handling, power can vary due to many factors.

My 2018 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab LTZ (Short bed) w/the 5.3 is 1444 pounds. I'm very surprised at this 2,000 pound payload figure.
Why?
