They are still 200+ pounds behind GMC. We have 15 Sierra 1500 SLT and mostly Denalis at work. I have bought 4 2021 Sierra 1500 SLT's with every option for an SLT and all of them are around 1585 sticker. They are on par with Platinum/1794 features wise. That is 200+ pounds more than what all of the SR5 stickers are being posted for. Considering my 19 Platinum had payload of 1,160 from factory, my guess isPlatihum/1794 will be 1,250-1,350.

Apples to apples comparison, Toyota is on average 200-300 pounds behind in payload compared to GMC and Ford for comparable trims.

This is mainly due to those trucks being 300-500 pounds lighter from factory.

Never drove a truck longterm other than Toyota, but Toyota seems to put a soft rear suspension in. My first gen Taco was stout, second gen SR5 was so weak I added Hellwig helper springs. Hellwigs on the first gen Tundra also.

You can't change factory payload but just beef up the rear coils to improve load carrying and handling trailer tongue weight. Rear coilsprings are easy to swap out and I'm sure Toytec, Dobinson, Eibach will have a variety of rear coils for load capacity pleasure.

I'm actually pleased with how my stock Platinum Tundra tows and handles my travel trailer at max payload. I would just like to put more stuff in the bed and cab (generator, gas, gear, etc.) without going over.
