In reading through my Ram manual there is no mention of 150# driver - here is what the definition of curb weight is:
Curb Weight
The curb weight of a vehicle is defined as the total weight
of the vehicle with all fluids, including vehicle fuel, at full
capacity conditions, and with no occupants or cargo
loaded into the vehicle. The front and rear curb weight
values are determined by weighing your vehicle on a
commercial scale before any occupants or cargo are
added.
From this we know payload = GVWR-Curbweight. The curbweight of my TV is 5400lbs as measured on a CAT Scale. So that leaves me 1500lbs of payload capacity.
