Payload Discrepancies on Website? What's the Real Number??

[PASTORT55]

Has anyone come across Payload discrepancies on the website? I ordered a 2022 3500 Limited Longhorn SRW and in looking for the payload, I'm seeing conflicting numbers. 1 link says its 4330 and another says its 5580 for the exact same build out. For a 5th wheel, that makes all the difference ... Can someone help me to know for sure what the actual payload capacity is on a 3500 Limited Longhorn, 8' 3.73, High output ... dealer wasn't sure either. thanks!!!

The 4330 sounds more likely but i am not sure, @Brutal_HO your payload should be similar numbers to help him out i assume

Have you looked for a similar build in this thread?

Please Post Payload Sticker from Driver's Door Jamb.

Okay, finally found a 2500 Limited near me that I could drive and view the payload sticker. The news is just awful; 1,990 lb payload. 2019 RAM 2500 SRW 4x4 Limited Crew Cab 6"4" Bed +Delmonico Red, $100 +Towing Tech Grp, $445 +Protection Group, $95 +5th Whl/Gooseneck Towing Prep, $445 +Body...

It would begin at 4330lbs and then depending on additional options selected, it would go down based on the option weight. The 5580lbs rating would be for a dually.

Your payload will be around 3700 pounds.

If you check the Ram site, It should be fairly accurate. I checked mine, similar truck as yours, but with the 6' 4" bed, on order as well, and it shows 3840 lbs payload. I feel that should be pretty close. Is your's 2WD or 4WD? 2WD shows 4440 lbs. for your 8' bed. Click on the Towing and Capacities drop down and enter your trucks criteria. I used it for both my other trucks and it was very close. You won't get a dead on number until it's built and you check that door jam.

Edit: I tried entering my VIN and it couldn't find the VIN. It's built with a window sticker but not shipped yet. Not sure what keeps it from populating. If you use the Look up my vehicle option and plug in your truck, I find it to be very liberal with the number. But if you just use the drop down and start with selecting your truck and use the drop downs for your truck configuration I feel you will get more accurate numbers.

Using the Look up my vehicle tab with a VIN is accurate.

Using the configurator is going to be wrong. As it is just a truck with the engine cab bed and drivetrain you have.

Obviously the most accurate way is your door jamb...but that is not feasible without a truck...lol

A limited is a heavy girl. Gonna be between 3700 and 3900.

Thanks, it's a 4WD ... it seems like the payload is going to be around 3700 - 3900 based on others experience ... not happy about that .... really don't want to go with a dually, but don't want to be unsafe either... thanks!

Definitely 5k+ payload is dually.
My 19' HO limited mega cab (short box) payload is 3800lbs. LB should be a little more higher on payload but it all depends on your particular configuration.

That has to be SRW vs DRW.

My 2021 3500 Laramie HO / 4x4 has a payload of 3620
GVWR 11,800
Front 6,000
Rear 7,000

 

[CdnHO]

My Limited Longhorn dually has a 5200 pound payload. Your SRW will be over a thousansd less.

My 2020 VIN hasn't worked on that towing guide site for probably a year. It used to pull it up. Now nothing. No error, no progress, no result. different computers, different browsers.

It's in my sig, but if you can't see that;

"Everything" on a CCLB includes 50 gal tank.

This is a 2022 limited longhorn with the dually and no air suspension. There is a major pump up in payload with the dually.
Also is a 2021 Laramie base dually with 12" screen and Alpine but no tech packages or sunroof.

The SRW comes at a cost to payload that is fairly large but yet a benefit in convenience for daily driving that is also fairly large.

 

[PASTORT55]

Thanks, that’s helpful. Definitely seems payload is about 1500 less with the SRW … appreciate it!
