GMC dually payload/camper loading sticker

I understand that all you guys here are talking about taxable cargo, as that what those stickers say.
That have very loose relation with vehicle actual cargo capacity.
Planning the camper you need to find rear axle available payload.
Meaning read the rear axle rating and deducting actual weight.

My truck 2017 4x4 3500HD DRW Denali

Door says 4671 lbs cargo/persons.

I’d assume the manufacturer assumed someone is sitting in all the seats...you are kidding, right?

Even with passengers included GM/chevy has less payload than the Ram. Look at an old post of mine regarding my friends GM DRW and my Ram DRW. Both of our trucks were same regarding year, Diesel, 4x4, long bed and cab configuration.

I looked up a similar truck on ebay. Chevy crew cab dually High Country (so the heaviest trim level). The tire and loading sticker shows "occupants and cargo shouldn't exceed 4,777 pounds". As stated earlier, that sticker is found in the door jam, so find that sticker and see what it says for the truck you are looking at. I didn't know GM put payload ratings in the glove compartment.

I have a Duramax 2015 GMC sle dually. I just looked and my glove box card says 4025 lbs. My NL is no where near that weight but I also have a tool box with a 60 gallon fuel tank (an additional 1000 lbs) between the camper and the cab. I am way over the 4025 weight and I can't even tell the driving difference when the camper is off. I also pull an 18 foot enclosed utility trailer with all my belongs and my ATV in it. I certainly would not be concerned.

Some of my friends have the big Arctic Fox camper with slides on the very same truck and they have no handling problems. None of us have done anything to the truck i.e. air bags, sway bars, special shocks, etc. We are all happy.
