Easy answer: Weigh your truck fully loaded like you would be going down the road. Subtract that weight from your GVWR, the resulting amount is your payload. That will be the pin weight you'll be considering as your guide.
Wrong! The resulting amount will be the total payload the truck is capable of handling...which includes not only the pin weight of the 5ver but EVERYTHING else you put in or on the truck including driver, passengers, dog, equipment, hitch, or anything else.

What I was saying was fill the truck like you would be traveling: which would be with "EVERYTHING else you put in or on the truck including driver, passengers, dog, equipment, hitch, or anything else." That's why I said subtract the resulting weight from the GVWR and you'll have what you can carry.
