I received notice that my 2023 Limited is ready to ship, in the notice the payload was 1279 lbs, this is nearly 500 lbs less than my 2019 Bighorn. The towing capacity for the Limited is 10910. Our 25 foot Airstream weighs' 5600 lbs with a tongue weight of 875 lbs, leaving us with 404 lbs for payload without passengers ! What good is a a large tow limit with such a little payload.
I do not need to hear from anyone about moving to a 2500, that is not an option.

Yea the towing numbers are misleading. That is why I try to keep informing people that are buying a new 1500 truck to tow a camper in the future.
These 1500s are really not designed haul much weight, or tow heavy trailers or campers that translate to heavy pin weights that quickly eat up all of your payload. These 1500s are made to be comfortable, maneuverable, and can haul or tow weekend warrior stuff.
I really suggest, that you look into 3500s. The next big mistake that new truck buyers make is that they think moving up to a 2500 will solve their payload issues. Will definitely not if getting the Cummins because it is so heavy and eats into payload, not leaving much more than a 1500.
People argue comfort of 2500 vs 3500, I say BS. I’ve had both. Gas and diesel. Get a 3500.
You can get a single rear wheel that is better for an everyday driver, or go dually for the big stuff.
