Door sticker says never exceed 1263 lbs of cargo/passengers.
What!? That can't be right. I've found many other sources on line that state the payload as 1889 lbs. What gives here? My truck is a 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 Classic.

Door sticker takes in account weight of all options, the cargo weight comes from adding both front and rear weight ratings together and subtracting the ACTUAL UNLADEN (AKA CURB) weight.
The 1889 cargo weight would only be valid for a BASE REGULAR CAB 4x2 with the lightest engine and no other options. This IS how the game is played with pretty much all manufacturers.
Things like cab size, bed length, 4x4 and even weight of the engine all add weight and that weight takes away just how much available cargo weight you have left over..
Sorry for the bad news, that is the way it is.
