So far the payload is the only mark against my wonderful new RAM. Sitting at 1515 for a Big Horn 6'4 5.7l no E-torque 4x4 Crew with the following options: 5 pass seating, LED group, Bed Utility, Level 2 Package, 3.92 Diff + Anti-Spin, Sunroof, Rear Wheel liners, Side-steps, 33 gal tank, NAV, 20" rims, Blind spot.
Cross shopped a 2019 Silverado LT with less options so it's not totally apples to apples (no boards, no sunroof, 24 gal tank, bench front, no bed liner) but the payload difference was staggering - Silverado stickered at 1950! Now optioned just like the RAM I'm sure it would be down to around 1800 but still, ****... of course the ride wasn't even comparable between the two which now makes total sense
I did the math on my expected trailer pull and after I load the whole family and account for hitch weight I'm only left with about 150 lbs of wiggle room for gear which isn't great but at least better than was I was in before. With the RAM I'll be forced to stow my 200 lb inverter generator in the trailer rather than the bed. Such is a sacrifice I'm wiling to make since the RAM was MILES ahead of fit and finish than GM, it was pretty pathetic of GM that the Silverado looked the way it did after a supposed "full redesign", yeah it was better than the old cabin but not anywhere near what RAM has done.
