APT, I'm confused about your payload numbers. Wouldn't available payload be the difference between 2051-1700 or 350? The sticker payload # is based on curb weight from the factory.
Once you weigh the truck fully loaded for a trip and subtract that from your GVWR that is your true payload. My sticker said 1800 but once I weighed it loaded I only had 1350 available payload. That's why I didn't buy a fifth-wheel. There's another 1-ton in my future, it'll take a little longer to acquire on a retirees income!
