noteven and afidel, you both need to go do some research on Pickup trucks before putting your (incorrect) theories into the written word.

Well, we have been to a lot of dealers. We are still comparing fords and RAMs. So disappointed in the salesman. Most tell me that I donโt have to count my tongue weight. Ugh. I know I will need to put about 1500 lbs in the truck or on the hitch. So the first thing I am doing is opening the drivers side door and looking at the number on the sticker that says the max weight for all cargo and occupants. Thatโs the specific payload for that truck right? I find they range between 1300 and 1600. The most I have seen is 1616 but I am looking at nicer trim levels.

However, I have seen their numbers magically increase by a couple hundred pounds to accommodate a longer wheelbase that happens to weigh about 200 lbs more, with the exact same components underneath.
Does the factory GVWR, axle weight ratings, and payload change at all depending on what wheel and tire is selected on the order?

People do not follow their payload capacity. They know what they want and will go to extraordinary lengths to rationalize exceeding the limits. You'll see people talk about "cushions" in the numbers, or "soft numbers", or "the numbers that REALLY matter." Anything to make themselves feel better about exceeding safety limits.
