The suspension is designed for a specific purpose of high speed travel over extremely harsh and bumpy ground. That "excessive axle travel, long piston shocks and wide tires that don't sink into the sand just don't make for a "high payload capability".
At the 2019 auto show last February the 2019 PW (6.4 gasser) I saw at the show had a 1080 lb payload...
