Answering "How Much" Questions
Sorry for this long and wordy post... I am looking for some feedback on a little project I have been working on today. Kind of a sick day for me... so I have taken the down time to try and be product...

Jerimiah, you may want to read up on FMVSS No.110 regarding the cargo carrying capacity label. The CCC figure is GVWR less curb weight. The definition of curb weight is "the weight of a motor vehicle with standard equipment including the maximum capacity of fuel,oil and coolant,accessory equipment and addition weight optional engine.
There is no reference to a 150 driver included. As the label states, it is " occupants". Obviously the driver would be defined as an occupant. The code does assume all occupants weigh 150.
Now, the 150 pound driver is used when some manufacturers determine tow ratings.
I do stand to be corrected but this is what I have found.
On edit:Guess I took too long to type.
