True... but the payload is 4500 lb.
---
As I understand it, the "payload" of the Transit cutaway *chassis* is listed as 4500 pounds, but this means to me that whatever is built on that chassis, i.e., the "house box" that the manufacturers loads on that chassis and whatever passengers, equipment, supplies, options, fluids, etc., that are in it or on it, counts toward the 10,300 pound gvwr. I suspect that the 4500 pounds of "payload" would be eaten up very quickly by whatever box the manufacturer loaded onto the chassis. Some may take a coach manufacturer's numbers as reassuring "gospel"; I want to see the four-corner numbers on the scales. :)
