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?

thanks for the detailed info. So it looks like GM moved the 2500 to class 3 since at least with the duramax GVWR is 11,400 ish, pretty much limited by tires/axles as SRW.
Ford did this too. Idk if Dodge has yet or not. Don't actually care what the gvwr of any light duty truck is, because I know what numbers are true and what numbers are false. class rating is like using tire ply terminology. It's general, not specific.
But ya know what?
NOTHING CHANGED, save for maybe some heavier springs, but I'd doubt that even. IDK what changed in vehicle class regs to allow this, but it sure is fun hearing all the weight ninnies blather about how it's "unsafe" to go over 10k on a 3/4 ton and now, BAM! the OEMs have dun done it!
