So unhappy with 2021 payload ! Time to switch to HD

[Portercycling250]

I am finally biting the bullet and trading back in my 2021 Ram 1500 Sport (loaded). Once I did my own research after purchasing this truck I soon found out the dealer salesperson was off by 500 pounds on payload. I currently pull a very light KZ Escape 22’ trailer hitch weight approx 520lbs loaded... with only 1383 payload it sucks... I’m ordering my 2021 ram 3500 Big Horn dually and not looking back. A fifth wheel is in my future so I am just not taking and advice from anyone on payload.. go big or go home I say LOL ! Too bad I’ll be waiting like everyone else as product is so scarce here in BC Canada . I’m looking forward to posting my pics once it arrives. Ordering in a week once I’ve seen a big horn SRW Big Horn so I know fit and finish approx.

You could spend some time scrolling through here to see if someone has a similar truck.

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...

If you're ordering, it will be a 2022. Happy trails!

Next time you’ll do your own research before buying the truck! The salesperson is usually clueless!

Good decision

Great decision! Looking forward to seeing other BC Cummins down the road. Also if you want.. we have a lot more options available to us for power

Roughly 3x as much truck!
