I think you understand it just fine. The issue is that the spec page you link to lists a curb weight of 5668. Many times mfrs will list the curb weight at the base model and not provide any adjusted numbers for the additional weight of options. You may have more or less payload depending on what's in your truck. Heck, take out that 3rd row seat and that's 75 lbs right there LOL.
Next time you're out tooling around, stop by a local scale and weigh just the truck. There are scales at moving companies, scrap yards and town dumps, along with the truck stops that the big boys use.
I would run out and look for a smaller TT either...I've had my burb overloaded by a few hundred lbs on a few trips and it handled just fine.
You read my mind! I was thinking about pulling out the back seat too haha.
There are some scales not too far from me so hopefully I can get there this week. Thanks!
