In general, how much payload capacity do you sacrifice going from regular cab to crew cab? Let's keep it simple and compare single wheel pickups-not duellys. I did the calculation for the 2013 Chevy Silverado 3500 and it was 581 pounds! Is that normal?
Welcome to the forum!
Word of caution, you may want to read a few of the numerous threads on this exact topic. And dont be offended when this thread goes off the rails about payloads and gvw, because they always do.
In general, your analysis above is correct. And the ultra conservative approach to payload is to use the mfgs payload reccomendation. Or if you're a bit more educated on the subject, you will be able to determine what is a comfortable load for you that is within the real world capabilities of the truck.
