OK I went out and checked the actual Tundra payloads. They seem to range from 1300 to 1600 +- depending on options. Oddly Toyota America says that payload does not include a driver or fuel. But check the sticker inside the drivers door to get the numbers for your truck.
As far as I have ever seen NO truck includes the driver or fuel when stating payload. After all that driver could be someone who is 100# wringing wet or someone 300#+.
When I scaled our truck I took it to the scales with DW, dogs, hitch, tools, spare fluids and full tank just as we would be while traveling.
