Has anybody validated your payload sticker?
Just curious mostly. Did you weigh your truck empty and verify the payload sticker was accurate? Thanks! Jeremiah

I did.2015 GMC 2500HD Diesel 4x4 Z71 Dbl cab, 6.6ft bed.
At delivery I had dealer add flip over gooseneck, 3step Nerf tubes and a 4panel fold a cover bed topper. I took the door sticker payload and subtracted the net shipping weights for each item and I subtracted the combined driver and passenger weight.
Then the wife and I filled up and went to a nearby CAT scale. The GVWR for the truck is 10000. Subtracting the Total CAT weight from 10000 yielded a payload net of junk I may hall. That CAT derived number was within 10 pounds of the method using sticker and adds calc. Basically, sticker is accurate.
My net payload I can use to haul junk and 5er pin weight is 2230#.
