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?

- Your cargo rating IS your payload, legally. Many will tinker with ways to raise that rating but unless you get a new sticker from the OM, after, for instance you put on heavier duty tires, that is your payload. Newer trucks will have higher payloads. That number seems really low.

..the sticker inside said the cargo rating is 2482#. Do you multiply x2 since it's a dually?- Actually like RV's you will never see an empty truck load it with family and go across the scales. Subtract that from the GVWR posted on the drivers door post. As an example, my truck GVWR is 11,500 and scaled ready to go weight is 8000. So I have 3500 pounds of cargo carrying capacity. Other truck brands may list a higher GVWR, but usually weigh more to begin with, so their net CCC is usually within a couple hundred pounds of other brands.
- Deduct the weight of the empty truck from the GVWR rating in it's VIN sticker.
