I'm so confused right now.... So we just purchased a 2010 Titan SE SWB with the tow package... when we looked up the information on payload it said it had payload of 1,900-2,015... so my husband we...

I was at the scales 10 or so times last year setting up our WDH and again last week. Have used 4 different scales - commercial highway, CAT and grain elevator. Always the same result within a few lbs. In looking up Ford data on the internet, I found 3 different GVWRs for the same truck ranging from 2550 - 2900 lbs so the 2701 lbs on our sticker can't be wrong. Getting payload cap. is easy - weigh truck (by itself, full tank and just driver), subtract from GVWR. The only non-factory things we've added are a canopy and lightweight bed liner.
When I weighed our F250 last week, it came in at 7518 lbs but I know it's a bit off because it was down on fuel. Last summer it was 7600 lbs. GVWR is 9600 lbs.
Maybe stickers should be correct, but I remain unconvinced based on our own experience. And I know others have also found the sticker to be off.

The weight of any factory options - 4x4, 8' box, super or crew cab, plus all the lesser ones (tow hooks, ex.) - will reduce payload capacity. What is shown on the sticker is not necessarily accurate and is for a base curb model without any options. ...snip.....
If the yellow sticker is off by 900 pounds, then you have either added quite a bit of weight yourself or the scales are wrong. The yellow sticker is specific for that vehicle, not a generic number for all models by that manufacturer.
