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.

Yes, that means I am towing a 26ft 7K lb loaded trailer with a F250 which HAS 3400 lbs of available cargo weight per the door sticker..
What kind of F250 is that? Must be a typo. We have a plain jane F250 4x4 gasser (rubber floors, xlt I think, 6.2L) at work, crew cab. It h
as 2393# payload.
My 2003 silverado 2500HD, LS trim with gas engine has 2,732 lbs of payload and 9,200 GVWR. That includes a 150 lb person in each seat and full tank of fuel.My truck weighs 5,800 and I weigh 220 so technically I have 3,330 lbs of payload. I have had over 3,000 pounds in it and I assure you I wouldn't be comfortable with that weight on a regular basis. 2,000- 2,500 lbs would be more realistic.
These are the reasons I dislike the Yellow "Payload Sticker"! Many forget that is the as delivered TV with a 150# driver and a full tank of fuel.
EVERYTHING you add to the TV after delivery reduces that number! So not only don't you have near the advertised MAX payload, you have less than the sticker once passengers with stuff get loaded into the TV.
The ONLY way to know your real Payload for towing is load it up and hit the scales!! Then it is simple GVWR - Scaled Weight = Avaiable Payload!
