I'm mostly skeptical of this truck with regards to payload. It weighs an awful lot but I haven't yet seen a GVWR number so I really question if a loaded up model with top 2000 lbs of payload or come anywhere's close.
GVRW is 8800-8990 pounds, curb weight 6709-7480. An S trim 4x4 model has an almost 2100 pound payload, while a Platinum trim 4x4 is just under 1500. Not 2500 series territory, but well above the only other truck in its class which has payloads in the 900-1500 lb range.
The S model 4x4 with an approximately 9K GVWR and 7K curb weight is very close to 2500 series diesel pickups of 15 years ago. Power specs are about there as well.
So, all rhetoric aside this truck does appear to fit right in between most 1500 series and 2500 series pickups in terms of payload, GVWR and towing capacity. The exception is the F150 with the max payload/max towing packages, which roughly equal or exceed the Nissan XD specs.
