Dually payload??
How do I figure a dually payload? I drove one and the sticker inside said the cargo rating is 2482#. Do you multiply x2 since it's a dually?

I just thought it was strange that a DRW 1 ton GMC Sierra would have a max payload of 2482#?
GVWR of 10000, GAVR 4500, GAWR 7500
The tires are 16s.
The truck did seem huge, very long - do you think they used up the weight with an extra long bed?
I would pass on this truck if you can. The weight ratings are too low to justify going to a dually. Depends on the price (and your budget), I'm thinking you might find a newer 3/4 ton that is just as "truck camper capable" as this one.
Ok my tires are 2910 which than would be 5820. The label on the truck reads 5022 so I'm well within. I have a 2008 F350 V10 4X4 with upgrades to shocks etc. I would have to get a lot bigger camper before I start worrying.
If you can get the dealer to cooperate, I would recommend getting the truck weighed. Then you can figure out what the real weights will be when you add the camper of your choice. You may want to check out http://www.visualsc.com/tc_calc.htm. It lets you calculate weights and provides info on the different weight limits.
