I have an '08 Dodge Ram 2500 with the Cummins. The specs say it has an 1800lb payload capacity. I was told that the specs are often understated so I called the local dealer to find out. They used the VIN to check out this specific truck and found the real payload to be 2425lb. It also has Firestone air bags. Firestone says that with the bags you still can't exceed the GVWR, but Dodge says you can add another 500lb with them. That gets it up to 2900lb. I can't see me ever putting that much weight on it but we have been considering a camper and it really increases the options on what we could get.
