I am not a troll. I do not appreciate the attacks. I am simply asking why a $50k truck can barely handle the tongue weight of a average bunk house trailer. This was a regular looking Ram body with those bed rail work boxes and a tonneau cover. No big off road lights or push bars. I wish to God I had taken a photo of the sticker for proof. And the grocery remark is called a “sense of humor”. Look into it.
This place used to be helpfull
Just to refresh my memory, this was your original post...

Went to the car show for fun today. Saw a 2018 2500 Ram Power Wagon 6.4L Hemi crew cab. Payload capacity was only 1047 pounds. Yes...I’m sure. What’s that truck bed for? Better weigh those groceries before you load them up. Power? I don’t think so.
My 2007 Exped is nearly 1600 pounds.
At least the Ford Super-Dooooody was over 2000 and was just as loaded up with options. A 2500 Denali was over 1900.
I’m not raggin’ on Ram cause I like them but dang...a trucks number one job is to haul things.
You asked 2 questions...
#1 What's the truck bed for? You then "answered" your question by advising people to weigh their groceries before loading them up.
#2 Power? You then "answered" your question by stating that the 6.4 Hemi apparently doesn't have any.
What other questions did you so innocently ask that weren't answered? I truly feel remorse that I handled such a serious and inquisitive post with such reckless abandon.
