Listen to the payload guys. I had a 2007 Ram 1500 hemi, tons of power but the factory 20 inch tires restricted the payload to 1040 lbs. I had upgraded to LT tires so I was OK exceeding payload number slightly (5200 lb tt) for one season. Now have 2015 silverado half ton 1635 lbs payload and towing experience is a lot more comfortable. Mostly mentally as I am not exceeding limits, and an added bonus the 5.3 gets a lot better fuel mileage towing than the hemi. The point of the story is to check your door sticker carefully.
