Thanks for posting the photo of the decal.
I see it as the same information as the older decals. In my opinion it is a bit my confusing than the older decals, but gives the same information. If you do not read into it, the older decals give the weight values based on the listed tire size, wheel size at a given pressure.
If you read on the sidewall of the tire size stated, you will see the load range and tire psi is exactly the same as the decal. My point being the Cargo weight of the truck is based on the capacity of the tires, not the truck.
This has been an ongoing subject for years. If you want simplicity and want a black and white world then the decal should be your guide. If you are willing to do some research, you will find what I have posted to be true. I wonder how many members know the history behind the decals? I bet very few. I will give you a hint, it started with tire safety.
