Remember you have a crew cab. My 2500 with a rev cab and SB8 has 3800 lbs of payload. Granted a really base stripped model.....
If folks did not ask for floor blown leather etc interiors, one would have more payload....
My 96 SW K3500 had just shy of 3000 with a nice mid trim cloth interior, 6.5TD and long bed. My tare was 6500 lbs or so. Today's rigs are at minimum 1000 lbs heavier. I can't find a base rev cab 2500 that weighs less than 5800 lbs. Mine is 4800 lbs. We have more GVW, but worst payload!

We may have worse payload buy the numbers but capability is light years ahead. If you say you have found a new 2500 that weighs 5800 then I would have no problem loading the truck to 11,000#. 5200# on your old truck that weighs 4800 would have a hard time handling 5200# running hwy and interstate speeds comfortably.
