In the Recent Pickuptrucks.com test, their EcoDiesel crew cab 4x4 payload was 14xx#, same as the Ford with the same cab style and Aluminium body. They really aren't all that different in the real world.
The new king of payload in the 1500 series class is actually the GM twins. Almost any way you equip them, they have more payload than Ford or Ram.
