Oddly enough my door sticker does not indicate my max payload for the truck. And there is conflicting numbers about the "payload capacity" online and given weights from the dealer directly.
I'm guessing the newer model trucks are quite more capable but restricted as jerry mentioned.
But I did read somewhere that potentially gvwr is a factor in authorities deeming being overloaded. Maybe someone can comment on that.
The truck max towing trailer weight is spec'd just above 19000 lbs.
If there's not a payload sticker on the door pillar, then call RAM with your VIN and ask for a replacement. Basically, it's the max weights for that specific truck, based on options. IMO, since the rear axle is almost certainly the same as a 1t, with only springs and brakes differing, if you're over on the RARW, but under on your tires, you should be golden. Now, since you're in BC, I've heard that LEO up there sort of makes stuff up as they go. :B
