Yes, Need-A-Vacation, my bad. I used two different people's numbers. He was showing his sticker as an example. But you can't use the sticker payload unless your truck weighs the same as it did when it left the factory, (curb weight). My curb weight was 5528, but when I weighed it with me and a full tank of gas and a camper shell it was 6200. My GVWR is 7650. My payload is now the difference between those numbers which is 1450. My loaded trailer tongue weight is 1050, which is only 100lbs under my max. hitch weight, so any weight I may add to the trailer goes behind the axles. I removed the shell to give me some payload room for my wife, dog, grandkids, wdh, etc!
