The sticker in your glove box will give you a much better estimate of payload capacity than the door pillar sticker. Just remember the glove box sticker also assumes a 150 lb person in each seat. So for each vacant seat you can add 150 lbs to the glove box number.rider997 wrote:
The ONLY thing you lose is the TPMS, which many people don't like anyway. If you're going to be running with huge variations in tire pressure (maxed out with a camper installed or perhaps even running aftermarket wheels without TPMS, or aired down for off-road driving), having no TPMS is actually convenient.
I thought TPMS was required on all new vehicles.
TPMS is required on new vehicles with single rear wheels and a GVWR or 10,000 lbs or less. So a SRW truck with an 11,000 lb GVWR, or any DRW truck is not required to have them. GM won't even offer you the option on trucks with a GVWR exceeding 10,000 lbs.
