As someone who was responsible for that "yellow sticker" for a major manufacturer I can assure you that the "combined weight of occupants and cargo" number shown on it is required by law to be accurate within 1# of the number for your specific truck as built.
It is calculated for EACH truck based on the build configuration, it is NOT a generic number or simply based on a basic truck.
The reg. states it applies to all vehicles with a GVWR of less than 10,000# so it may not be on some of the newer 3/4 tons and 1-tons unless the legislation has changed.
