Ultimate payload monster?
What do you think is the top payload rating among new one-ton trucks? All the advertising goes toward horsepower/torque and towing capacity, but what configuration is king of payload?

Ktmrfs,
Correct to a free on gm 2500s.
I also feel there are a lot of us, myself one. Where the upper end 15 series trucks at not enough, and current 25s basically in the class 3 relm. What's missing is the 8600-9200 gvwr rig with the typical 6000-6400 RA and a 4-5k fa depending upon motor. I'd have no issues with the 4.3 with cylinder shut off getting 19-25 mpg in an 8600 gvwr rig. With an 8 so auto, 373 gears. It would be a sweet rig.
