Where are you looking up payload info? The information is consistent no matter what reputable website you look at.
What are the numbers on door jamb data sticker? I already answered that in another post.
GVWR of 7200# minus scale weight 5900# equals 1300# of capacity left. Yes - that's what I already said in my initial post.
5900# included your husband and EVERYTHING in vehicle. Yes again... that's what I already said in my initial post.
1300# minus your weight, minus anything you put in vehicle, minus any other passengers & their stuff........not much 'actual payload' capacity going to be left. It still leaves us with over 800 so I guess "not much actual payload" is extremely subjective.
That's the reality of real numbers vs mfg. published marketing numbers that have fine print/caveats such as:
**May vary depending on model, trim and/or powertrain. (We had looked it up based on exact model, trim, and powertrain)
**Weight of additional options, passengers, cargo and hitch must be deducted from this weight Yes I am quite aware and already mentioned that...
I've responded in red above. I'm not sure if you didn't read the majority of my post or any of the comments afterward but I think all you did was just give us a synopsis of what I already said.
In your very first post of this thread, you asked, "What am I missing?"
You are not missing anything. Apparently you get it.
You are simply giving the "reputable websites" too much credit... I.E. they spew best-case-perfect-world scenarios that almost no-one can expect to achieve.... Such is life.....
Oh, and the Tundra really can't tow the space shuttle.
