Ram 1500s have generally the lowest payload capacities vs the other brands, mostly due to the coil springs.
But Dodge supposedly have addressed this in their 2019 line, by increasing payload capacities.
So check the payload capacity sticker on whatever Ram 1500 you look at, since you're going to be using for heavy loads.
But if you add bling, you'll lose payload. Those fancy trim levels add weight.
X2 on this. My previous Ram 1500 was a blinged out Outdoorsman and the payload was terrible, barely over 1000#
Very nice ride though, a showy grocery getter that could tow my little trailer if I took it easy on toys in the bed.
