I don't mean to hijack the thread, but curious to know if your door jam sticker is higher or lower than what the Vin check tells you on ram's site?
Mine is identical. When the VIN check actually works.
While the tow rating number has changed, the payload has always been dead right.
Yes - just be sure what they count before telling you capacity. They MAY include an estimate of 150 lbs for a driver and X number of pounds for a full tank of gas. So if that’s the case, you’d only count 50 of your pounds leaving 190 pounds for another person and/or stuff. But not a heck of a lot else!!Just to put this into a little more perspective, here is my payload sticker for my Mazda MX-5. It says the combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed 340 lbs. if I am 200 pounds my passenger should never exceed 140… not including cargo. I don’t think that is going to happen.
It is not just trucks that have payload limits. Think about every sports car out there with two people in it is over payload!View attachment 38112
290 lbs more, but yeah, not a lot for a family of 4.Yes - just be sure what they count before telling you capacity.

Interesting to know what other options you have, I have the exact same truck with a 2268 lb payload. 5th wheel prep, 5th wheel hitch, and air suspension.2500 CCLB Laramie, Hemi, 50g tank. BTW - the "same" truck with a 6'4 bed and standard size gas tank has a little over 3K payload.

Just for an option to weight comparisonMine is a "base model" Laramie - i.e. not even Level 1. But it's still a gorgeous truck compared to the old 2014 Tradesman in my profile pic. The only pleasant surprise so far (I just got it last Saturday) is the power folding mirrors. I thought they only came with Level 1 or higher...
Here's the equipment list:

My wife and I take ours to Sam’s club and fill her to the brim. My wife usually gets in and I pile stuff on top of her. Lol.
