The extra weight of the diesel is the reason for the payload discrepancy.
Yep but payload is pretty meaningless since extra weight of the diesel is almost all on the front axle, while your cargo or pin weight will almost all be on the rear axle. Axle and tire ratings are the figures to know.
Actually max payload is all the truck is rated to carry, and all the BRAKES are designed to STOP. No matter where the weight is. The brakes are only designed to stop the GVWR of the truck.
BTW. at max GVWR. The brakes are not designed to stop ANY of the trailer.
