If you want high payload, you don't want diesel. Those engines weigh more.
My 2015 Silverado 3500 has a payload of 3933.
Ford adjusts the GVWR to keep the payload rating roughly equal between all engines.
While I have never weighed it, my camper is somewhere north of 3K lbs based on a similar (but slightly less equipped) camper that was weighed at 3100lbs IIRC. My 2007 F350/SRW/SuperCab/Lariat/4X4/diesel carries mine on it's stock suspension and still sits slightly tail high when fully loaded for a trip. Even adding the tongue weight (non-weight distributing) of a 22' TT didn't squat me past level.
I do know the 08 and up Ford's lost some load capacity as their GVWR stayed the same while the trucks got heavier.
