according to the Dakota brochure, the standard payload for the 4x2 models and R/T is 1275 lbs and the 4x4 and quad cabs is 1450 lbs. But optional ratings go up to 2000 lbs on regular and club cab only. This is of course will be less depending on weight of passengers and other equipment.

Good info from Jerry - and our Daks actually have smaller bodies than full size half ton trucks - your friend must be thinking of mini trucks. Like Jerry says, our trucks are actually rated for more than a half ton. I've out plowed the full size half ton Chevy we have at work - tell your friend he's an idiot.

Lead, follow, or get out of the way
