What is your SRW truck payload?
Thinking about buying a new used truck between 2004 and 2009. I have a 2001 Dodge ram 2500 with about 3000lb of payload and would like to get a truck with more without getting a dually. I have always ...

'05 Dodge 2500, quad/long, 4wd... see sig.
9k GVWR, 3195lb 17" tire rating.
7400lbs empty with just me and full fuel (no hitches, bed cover, tools, ect). This was weighed at a local gravel yard when I went to get some rock, so it could be a little high or a little low.
I do not have the camper package.
If you stick to GVWR, you've got a whopping 1500lbs. I've loaded up 2500lb worth of gravel, and was at 9900lb GVW, with 5460lb on the rear axle. Rear was a little squishy and if I was to make a habit of it, the rear suspension would need some help (bags, timbrens, stock upper overloads, ect).
I would have no reservations about running 2500-3000 in the bed of my truck (we were TC shopping earlier this year to replace the TH).
If it were a 3500, it would have come with the factory overloads, and a higher GVWR, but all other items are the same as the 2500 for this era (axle, brakes). Just front and rear springs varied depending on what boxes were checked during build.
