Why so low??
Because of the heavy diesel and heavy body/heavy extra luxury stuff on that trim yet the comparatively low 3/4 ton class GVWR.
Actually
Trucks aren't trucks anymore, they are road going wishful phallic projections
What else are you supposed to do with a ship driver when they go into the Army?
when I worked framing houses I had two different mini vans, all the seats taken out so I could keep all my tools and a six foot ladder. I would party and sleep in it. Once it even got me laid. Girl said something about big truck dudes haveing little dicks, I told her “I drive a mini van”. I didn’t meet expectations. Guys with little dicks drive everything.Actuallystation wagonsminivans are more capable in this arena. A new Chrysler Pacifica has a maximum payload of 1725 lbs.

No, but you will have the power of the CTD. Payload goes down ~900 for the pleasure of the oil burner. That configuration may make sense if you tow but don't haul. While a 1500 might be able to tow or haul a similar amount, I'd rather have the larger running gear of the 2500 than run at the margins of the 1500 stuff.
Right, plus lockers and big tires play much nicer with solid axle hardware than they do IFS and CV shafts. You typically get deeper gear options with solid axles vs IFS diffs.
The Power Wagon is greatly misunderstood. It is not a 3/4 ton truck for doing 3/4 ton truck things. It's a burly, offroad performance focused truck, that just so happens to be built on a 3/4 ton chassis. It has different front and rear suspension, f+r lockers, disconnecting swaybars, and a winch option from the factory. It is not meant to compete with the TRX or Raptor.
We were bored and I found out one of the mechanics was also an instructor and could certify me. So we did the basic hummer, the coms truck, the 2 1/2, and a 48 passenger bus.
That's why I had my own city bus inNew Orleans after Katrina. Because I had a license.
<edit> I was master helmsman in the navy. I went through the small boat school, it was awesome.

I kind want a minivan. Yank all the seats out. Easy to toss in my bike in a locked car. Can easily sleep/camp in it. Can haul anything I would ever want to put in a truck.

I just got finished with a deuce and a half. Coffee was potent this morning.
Everything is a semi if you aren’t a pussy.
With all the seats out, it was pretty sporty considering (windstar). Me and my buddy with a 5 speed v6 mustang use to race all the time. Sometimes I would win. We even took it in some small sand dunes in Glamis.
Some of the undercover cops around here have mini vans with kids seats in them. But when you look in there is no trash, no crumbs, no toys and obviously no kids.
My friend's son scored a GMC Safari 4x4 and made himself a ski rig. He lives in it parked up at Timberline. It's worked out really well so far, I was impressed.
His dad bought a Sprinter last fall and started building. I need to get pics, it's pretty bad ass. He's in construction, so he has more skills and better tools.
A while ago, I did a lot of trail building in a Previa, haha. It would go everywhere I needed it to.
if you get a recent dodge/chrysler van, the 2nd and 3rd row seats fold into the floor. Friggin magic.
while camping in Waterton lakes few years ago, our neighbour was a guy from Florida who had built a platform in the back for sleeping and generally set up a grand caravan for camping. He paid $3k for the van, and was driving it all around North America.
a minivan is what 90% of crossover/SUV buyers really need, but they’d rather pay more money for less useful doors and poor convenience.

Only costs as much as first my house and the first 3 new cars I bought. Bargain for something that is both a shitty house and a shitty car.
yeah that kind of cash would pay off 2/3 of my remaining home loan
Finally going to retire and travel a bit, flying out to colorado springs tuesday to pick up a 43' newmar mountain aire coach and get some miles under the belt somewhere warm.
Congratulations!!!! those are nice looking machines! Post pics when you get it!
Part of the house was in fact 22,000 lbs.
Saw one of these on the freeway on my way to lunch https://happiercamper.com/pages/hc1-travel-trailer
Kind of dig the modular interior concept, could make a cool bike hauler, but dear god they're expensive!

I covet one. Back in the before times I used to drive by the former boler factory daily.
is that the actual one??? I’m not into tribal tattoos on big girls but I really like that color combo, I’ll bet the inside is nice.
the price is high but that thing isn’t full of wood or seams to leak. It would be cool if someone molded them and sold kits.
ive always wanted to build something like this but more curved.
