Hi,
I am looking to get a one ton diesel SRW truck to tow a fairly heavy fifth wheel. I need one that will have sufficient payload to safely tow a trailer with a 2500 pound pin weight plus cargo, etc. and I really don't want to get a dually if I can avoid it.
I am looking for a long bed with a trim package equivalent to the Lariat, Laramie, etc.
Which of the Big Three has the highest payload rating? I would think that they would be fairly close but...
From what I have found so far in researching just Ford and Dodge it seems that an equivalently equipped long bed diesel in the high end trim package that the Ford has about 3200 pounds of payload but the Dodge has about 4200. Can this be right? That seems like a huge discrepency. Am I missing something here?
How does the Chevy compare?
thanks
Matt
