I often wonder what the fascination or paranoia over payload numbers is on here. Not talking major differences like 1/2 to 3/4 ton, but the scrutiny over minor payload differences is mind boggling.
Let's hope you are never in an accident while your truck is over GVWR. A compensation lawyer will run circles around you and don't expect the vehicle Manufacturer to support you either.
Secondly, I have seen situations where powertrain/suspension/brake warranty has been denied for a truck that is overloaded. Kinda hard to hide it when you are towed in from the side of the road with a blown tranny and the big fiver on the back! Don't expect the dealer to cover for you - they are expected to evaluate why the vehicle failed. Being over GVWR is all that is needed to void the warranty on related components - period!
With any luck you will never find out how powerful that payload number is! Call it paranoia if you want, I prefer to see it as using common sense and acting responsibly.
To BHall - by taking note of those payload numbers you made a good decision.
