Question: What is "payload"? Is that what you carry in the truck itself like generators, grills, and people?
Payload capacity for pickup trucks means the maximum weight a truck is expected to carry; this includes passengers, cargo, and tongue weight. To calculate a vehicle's payload capacity, you need to know the vehicle's gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and its actual empty weight. There are a lot of numbers to look at on a tow vehicle, but none more important than payload.
