gmc 3500 payload

My 2015 gas 3500 SRW crew cab long bed has a payload of 3933. Hope that helps. YOu will have to look at the door sticker on the actual truck to get an accurate #.

My truck in signature below has a 3700 lb payload per the sticker and 11500 gvwr.

Go look at a truck and read the tire and loading info label on the driver's door pillar.
It will state total occupant and cargo capacity.
Depending on the truck (Cab, 2 or 4WD, gas or diesel etc) it may well have 7300# of actual payload capacity available and a RAWR of over 10,000#.

NO a 3500 DRW may have a 7300 payload deduct nothing from that. A SRW has a 4K payload a DRW can have a a 7300 payload capacity. Quite a jump from the capacity of my 07

Max payload is based on a stripped truck without any accessories or passengers. Step up to a higher model, payload subtracts. Add step bars, spray in bed liner, etc, subtract that weight from the payload listed on the drivers door jamb.

The weight over the rear axle, is that an "empty truck": just drove off the assembly line, or one that has accessories/ "stuff" in the bed? If "just off the line", then no, do not subtract that weight from the payload. BUT if that is your hitch and pin weight then you need to subtract that from the payload.

Actual payload = gvwr - trucks actual weight
But you still have rear axle (and front axle) weight rating as well as gcwr (gross combined weight rating=truck + trailer)
Hope this helps

i would think its a dual rear wheel truck and a stripped down dwr has a actual payload of 7300, in other words you could plop 7300 pounds of bricks in the box.

No.

That means that a plain jane 2wd 3500 dual rear wheel 3500 with the gas engine can carry a maximum of 7300 lbs.

Most 3500 Duramax single rear wheel trucks will have a payload of about 3500 - 4000 lbs depending on how they are equipped, 2wd, 4wd, cab configuration, options, etc.

You only get that much payload with the regular cab dually with the 6.0 Vortec engine in 2WD. Payload is going to be GVWR minus the truck weight (which can vary due to accessories and number of occupants). 13,500 GVWR minus approximately 6200 will get you around that payload. Whatever payload carried the weight would have to be distributed so that you don't exceed the GAWR of either axles 4800 front and 9375 for the rear.

It would appear that your RAWR is 7300, and yes, if the truck scaled wt is 3300 on the rear axle, you would have 4000 left, before going over RAWR.

Payload, has more to do with the GVWR. If the truck has a GVWR of 11500, and the truck scales at 7500, you would have 4000 left for entire load.
