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

As I said before, EVERY truck I have owned from new, has been wieghed right after I got them. Be it a camper load sticker in the glove box, or since payload sticker came into being since about 2000, EVERY truck has been within 20-40 lbs, or about 2 20 lb increments on a scale, plus or minus of what it is supposed to weigh off of the factory line.
My old 05 dually, sticker said about 7300 lbs, came in at that. Another now not posting too much, also had a 05 dually, sticker said should weigh about 7100 due to it being a base model and 2wd. Mine a mid level 4wd. BertP had a full bore leather 05, his sticker was 7600 base wt, also came in at 7600.
My 2000 C2500, should not include it, but it is around 4900, sticker payload 3700, total gvwr 8600. I only have three options, as close to base as one can get. Auto trans, trailer tow pkg, and trim rings. Oh and cloth seats, but that is an N/C option vs vinyl.
My 96 CC was also with in a few lbs of sticker. My ex's 2 Astro safari vans, also with in a few lbs.......
I doubt they will be off a lot. BUT if buying used, someone has put on a hitch, spray in bedliner or other after market options, all bets are off if the full tank of fuel rig is at the sticker base wt. Like my 2000 is around 5300 sitting there with a line-x, metal pipe rack and mesh sides etc.
