When a manufacturer states the maximum payload it doesn’t take into consideration that the load is going to be 12’ to 13’ tall. On my truck the maximum payload is 5,813 lbs., but the maximum truck camper payload is listed at 4,913 lbs..
That difference is usually due to the camper rating assuming 150lbs in each seating position where payload does not. Does your truck have 6 seats?
Payload is payload! It doesn’t care if there are people or not, it is the total sum of whatever is in or on the truck.
