I can confirm that it will max out at about that give or take a few pounds.Here is the response from Ram Customer Service regarding "Protection Mode".
The "Protection Mode" deactivates the air compressor that operates the air suspension system. If you over load the truck, the system will not continue to try and compensate by adding air. The customer would have to remove some of the payload until the required levels are met.
Found this info. And while finding it I came across a conversation that the air suspension is supposed to accommodate 2000lbs of payload.
Very interesting. Wish it could be confirmed.
I emailed CS and they said, talk to the dealer. At least you got a reply.I can confirm that it will max out at about that give or take a few pounds.
