Payload will increase. The weight saved is then payload. It's revealed this week. It looks like a awesome truck. I heard the whole body is alloy but no one really knows what's on it. I'm looking forward to see what options it has but a whole alloy body is sweet.Chris Johnson said:It still only going to be a 1/2 ton pickup, payload will not increase
I would say there would be enough steel in the tyres to activate the loop.Have fun at stop lights with the sensors, because it won't change for you

Including aluminum. And some grades of Stainless SteelSalt eats everything.
Interesting. Where I'm from they are motion censored from light.jlsconstruction said:Have fun at stop lights with the sensors, because it won't change for you

I don't think that's directly transferable as it's still using half ton axles, springs, tranny, etc. If one were to want some direct relationship, a steel alloy bed vs. alum bed weights would be more accurate and that's probably 4 bags of sand.Payload will increase.

What ever weight it saved from accessories or options the truck has as payload. If the truck was 700lb lighter then that 700lb is allowed as payload. Same thing happens when you go from a 4wd to a 2wd. The truck is lighter so that weight lost due to going 2wd is allowable payload. rememeber payload is figured on your GVRW. if your truck was GVRW 7200lb and its weight was 7199lb you would only have 1lb payload or if it was a 5000lb truck it would have 2200lb payload.I don't think that's directly transferable as it's still using half ton axles, springs, tranny, etc. If one were to want some direct relationship, a steel alloy bed vs. alum bed weights would be more accurate and that's probably 4 bags of sand.
