1680 pounds? After passengers, dogs, and a full tank of fuel that's less than 1000 pounds. Bigfoot/NL full size campers will be 3x that or more.
I may be wrong here but wouldnt cargo carying capacity include full tank of fuel and pasengers too..?
Does truck manual have any info on this?
That would depend on what weight sticker the OP was referring to. The sticker in the glove box gives a camper loading weight-which means all seats with an average 150 lb person in them, then the camper and cargo can weigh up to the camper loading weight.
Sticker on the door pillar. This weight is what the truck can carry in total. People, pets, camper, whatever.
There is truly on one way to really know what the truck can really handle to stay within the limits. Load up the truck with the people and pets that will normally go, add the tie downs and turnbuckles and go weigh the truck. Leftover up to GVW is what the camper and supplies can be. This is of course if you'd like to stay within the sticker weight limits.
