Read the question. The issue he had was that he believed the payload was based on GVWR minus dry weight but the dealer says it's GVWR minus shipping weight. His question is actually asking which is correct - i.e., is the vehicle weight used for the calculation what is on the sticker or what is on the dealer invoice as "shipping weight".
Yes, he mentions legality, but he's not looking for the convoluted discussion that's been going on about what is legal - he's wanting to know what numbers are used to calculate the payload because he doesn't want to exceed it.
I did read the question. The only sentence in his post with a question mark was..... "
Isn't the door sticker the law?"
