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.

I figure I'm overloaded by 250 lbs. I guess I could make the wife and the dogs ride in the trailer (joke). I've been looking at new trailers. Instead I need to be looking at a new TV.
What got me researching my own TV ratings was watching my buddy buy heavier and heavier 5th wheel RV's without changing his TV. Two trailers ago he installed an additional leaf spring to "take out the sag of the truck bed". Then he bought another trailer 3 months ago and said he needed another leak spring! That got us in an argument about him being overloaded. He said he checked the numbers and he was still in range. I told him I didn't check the numbers on his TV but I could still tell he was overloaded just using common sense. The 5th he has now has a dry hitch weight of 1428 lbs. He has a 2004 Nisan Titan 4X4 (half ton). That's just plain nutz.
