I am looking at ordering a 2018 Laramie 2wd dually diesel with Aisin.
Payload is 6030, GAWR is 5500 front, 9750 rear.
4WD will show 340 lbs less payload for same truck.
This same truck with 6030 payload has a max camper weight of 4792 lbs with bucket seats (5 passenger) and 4631 lbs with bench seats (6 passenger)
so it appears to me each passenger is worth 161 lbs? plus 433 lbs thrown in for the dog?
my personal truck (4x4 dually, 14K GVWR Cummins, Aisin, 4:10 rear) came with a piece of paper in the glove box that says "this truck is not recommended to carry a truck camper". No idea why, but some here suggest it is because the truck has a snow plow prep group (IE a skid plate)
