Dodge ram

Keep in mind those payload numbers from the manufacturers are "maximum available payload" for that model/package. Start checking door stickers if you want the truth on the one you have, or the one you are looking at. It's surprising how fast those numbers come down with a few accessories, or maybe a spare tire. :laughing:
I looked at a lot of door stickers when I was shopping, and some trucks have lower payload ratings than many cars and SUV's. My truck has the 8200 gvwr package, so the payload is well over a ton. Do you homework, no matter which brand you're looking at.

Very nice. I like the two tone paint white and red

It's a half ton truck because you can haul a half ton of stuff right?

We were supposed to get 7" but o ly got 3" which is fine by me, every year I dislike winter more and more

Nobody is touchy and it isn't a debate and I'm certainly not flaming you, just calling you on a broad claim saying that "most trims of RAM can only do 900 lbs total payload" when it is just purely not true.

I get it, you researched Ram and found you didn't like what they had to offer. I don't like Ford or Chevy either. But if I were to post something critical I'd only post facts or my feelings about what I like/dislike, not misleading info.

Hey Rob, solid points. I should have worded things more carefully. When I was looking at 2014 or 2015 rams with ecodiesel, 4wd, quad cab: most trims had pretty low payload, many under 1k lbs (I swear). I certainly didn't mean all rams. And I was going off memory a few years later, so, oh well. Not sure that random pdf should be treated as gospel, either.

It's weird that I even wrote that first post though, I'm really not an internet troll, I promise, lol. There is a lot to like about ram trucks - styling, nice ride, Uconnect, etc. Don't mean to be a hater and it looks like I was mostly wrong; sorry dudes

Point taken. Everyone has had the experience of writing a quick comment in a post and then realizing later that it was not 100% accurate or overly broad or something like that. I was just trying to point out the flip side. Sorry to come off harshly.

That PDF, however, is straight from Dodge/Ram's web site, so I think it is solid info.

I have always found it odd how low the payload is on some of the trucks, problem is (I’ve been a Ram HD guy for years) you go over to the Ram forums and you have guys with 3500’s complaining about the ride. I think the low ratings on the 1500 is to get the best ride as possible, nice and soft like a caddy.
People want their cake and to eat it too but the expectation has become insane. I want 1000ftlbs of torque , 25 MPG, tow 30k, ride like a caddy. It’s silly.

Nice truck by the way, I hope it gives you many trouble free miles.

Gorgeous 'snowtone' paint. The Rams have caught my attention too. The last time I looked at one it was a Dodge Ram W250... should of bought it.
