Can't believe my payload is so low.
I've decided I want to for sure and certain get a truck camper. I've been reading and researching for about two weeks now. Looking at what I want, the sizes, the weights. Plugging numbers into the wei...

It seems like my 2007.5 Chevy diesel 2500HD has a very low payload. 1468 lbs to be exact!I should've broken this truck years ago if that is in anyway accurate.
Just last week I hauled 2000 lbs of sack-crete in it. And for nearly 6 months I was hauling 2900 lbs of water in it about 2-3 times a week!
I'm just about to say heck with it all. :R
Lets see if my memory works. :)
1 ton = 2000lbs
3/4 ton = 1500lbs
Sounds like the payload on the truck is fairly close. :)

For those who actually pay attention, the above referenced tonnage ratings have no basis in fact with today's truck offerings...Today, even a properly configured half ton may have a rating of over a ton.
