I did mention payload capacity. For the Durango it's a harder number to find. The sticker shows 1200 lbs no matter if it's v6 or v8 and all axel's show same. Using the formula it has closer to 1700 lbs which works be plenty for us (I think).

The payload sticker is mandated by law to reflect the actual unloaded weight of that particular truck, and is deducted from the GVWR. Using the "formula" based on published dry weights, would only tell you the payload of a very stripped down base model, which likely doesn't exist except in federal government motor-pools.
