Payload for my Ram 3500 Truck

According to the stickers on my 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 Heavy Duty long bed dually diesel the GVWR is 11,500 lbs. But, the GAWR front is 4750 lbs and the GAWR rear is 9350 lbs for a total of 14,100 lbs. If my truck weight is 7200 lbs, WHAT IS MY PAYLOAD LBS? I am trying to decide on a truck camper so I can carry camper and pull boat.

thanks for any help on this.

    11500 - 7200 = 4300. But as said above you need to see what the truck weighs ready to travel. Fuel and people have weight also. My truck with full fuel and 2 of us is 9300. More than I thought.

    Actual payload is acaled ready to travel weight subtracted from the GVWR as listed on the drivers door post. Based on my 07 that number is right around 3500 pounds. Your can be different based on occupants and configuration.
