Well. I guess I'm confused. If Just going by sticker on door and it says 2450 lbs payload. And I have a 2000lbs pin. That's just pin. That only leaves me 450lbs.
That's correct......based on those numbers.
As suggested go weigh truck 'camp ready' (you, passengers, stuff in cab).
That weigh ticket will have front axle, rear axle and total
Subtract total (plus 250# for 5vr hitch) from GVWR....that will be how much weight before exceeding GVWR.
Then check rear axle weight against RAWR. That will be how much weight before exceeding RAWR.
Then check rear tire max load rating. How much before exceeding rear tire load rating.
Your truck probably has a GVWR of 9300# or 9500#.
For me personally......I'll go over truck GVWR as long as I don't exceed rear axle/rear tire ratings.
