Max Payload vs. Pin Weight (Ford, Ram, Chevy)
Hi, I recently bought a new 5th wheel and truck to tow it. I got a 40 foot Open Range with a 2500 pound pin weight. I was looking at fairly loaded SRW long bed diesels from Ford, Chevy and Ram...

OP has to have a 3500, to get that much payload. The 2500 would just be wt of truck as it left factory minus the class 2 10,000 GVWR limit. The rear axle wt ratings should be similar between the 350/3500 models. The Ram may have a little higher GVWR on their 3500s? In any case, the OP made a good choice for a diesel truck, if it can handle the actual loaded pin wt, which will be much more than the 2500 lbs mentioned.
