Useless or No Big Deal? Shockingly Low 2026 Ram 1500 Payload Explained

This video was first publish on Pickup Truck Plus SUV Talk

The video in question, from our friends at Truck King, shows a 2026 Ram 1500 Hemi with only 897 pounds of payload. For truck fans, this truck seems really limited in what it can do as a truck. Yet, there is a lot more to this story and I reached out to Ram to learn more.
