3rd row seat...payload capacity question
Just wondering if anyone knows this, does a 3rd row seat in a 2007 tahoe count against payload capacity? Lets say payload is 1800 lbs (I am just making up a number here) and the seats weigh in at 100...
Forum Discussion
There is two answers.
Ben mentioned first one. If the 1800 is brochure wt, then the 3rd seat will probably take away from the 1800 lbs of payload.
If the 1800 is door sticker payload, then as noted by APT, the 3rd seat is included in the tare wt. As such, if you remove the seat, you gain "100 lbs" for the seat, so a total of 1900 lbs of payload.
As some like to say, "there is no two ways about it", in this case, there is two ways to look at the op's question. ie it depends upon where the 1800 lbs of payload is from!
