I've been thinking about this...you understand that payload (related to GVWR) and tow rating (related to GCWR) are very different...correct? You can max out a vehicle's tow rating before you even start to add toward its payload capacity (depending how you load the trailer).

Looking online, I am only seeing a ~600# difference in payload in the Ram vs GMC 1500 trucks
