Question about Payload Numbers

Is there any allowance for fuel and a driver before factoring payload? Another way of asking is the payload calculation strictly the difference between the loaded weight of the vehicle with fuel, driver, passengers, and supplies less the factory dry weight?

I seem to recall reading that you were allowed to add fuel and normal size driver(150-175lb)to dry wt and then the paypoad limit was over and above that number. Does that sound right?
  • All fluids are included.

    No driver is included in the payload capacity (at least for my Ram 3500 per the Owners Manual).
