If it helps, fuel is not considered "cargo capacity" stated on the sticker. The cargo capacity is calculated based on a full tank of fuel.
The Payload capacity IS the GVWR of the truck minus the empty weight - period.
(It does include all other liquids, but not fuel)
"Payload" is not the same as "Cargo" with Chevs, at least in 2003.
"Cargo" is with full fuel but maybe not "Payload". My truck GVWR is 9,200 and the CWR and ("T" on the label) is 2,770 (what is allowed in the box) It is a five pax for 150 each for 750 so "Payload" is 750 + 2770 = 3,520 which would be on the stickers that came out a few years later for "cargo and passengers" limit.
However the 2003 brochure says its "Payload" is 3,643.
So maybe the 3643-3520 = 123 is gasoline, but 128 litres must weigh at least twice that.
So it is not altogether clear.
