PAYLOAD has NO 150 lb (or any other weight) person excluded from it. EVERYTHING including the optional equipment on the truck will reduce the payload from the VERY optomistic brochure listings. The AVAILABLE payload must handle tongue weight of anything being towed, weight of the hitch, weight of all passengers including the driver, all cargo carried in the truck. The method YOU used is absolutely foolproof and regardless of where the weight comes from your truck is limited to the GVWR listed on your door post on the DOT safety plate.

Obtain the number from the tire and loading sticker in the door jamb or manual that states "The maximum allowable weight of ALL passengers (including the driver) and cargo not to exceed XXXX"
Load up the truck with all the stuff/people/animals you are going camping with. Have a full tank of gas and install the ball into the hitch receiver.
Go to the scale - Use this link to find a CAT scale near you, Get the weight and subtract from the number above - XXXX
This is what you should have left for tounge weight.
