Doubt it would be that low, all depends on the truck's dead weight with a full tank of gas, no passengers, no cargo - subtract that number from the truck's GVWR and the OP won't be guessing, he'll know what it's actual payload capacity is.

Agree. I'm just guessing based on experience. The only way to know is to weigh it. But it would have to have a awful light curb weight to have much more payload than that.

Your going to do what you want just notify the board where you go on vacation we will watch out for you

That sounds more like it. Clearly the OP needs to do more investigation if he wants to get this right. ;)

Curious...

No Quad Cabs with a 6,325 GVWR

Post a pic of the door sticker...and this trailer is too big.

Way too much trailer, or way too little truck.

I have a F150 with the Ford Heavy Duty Payload Package. My cargo capacity, as shown on the yellow sticker on the driver's side door, is 2,286#, and I wouldn't think about towing that trailer.

I'd at least be at the 3/4 ton level, and depending on the price differential between a 3/4 ton and 1 ton, I'd get the 1 ton.

Ok I'm looking at Jayco jay flight 32' fully load its 9000lbs. My truck can tow up to 8500lbs. I know I'll never fully load it. Would you buy it or stay clear of it?

With that low a GVWR. I'm guessing. Your payload / carrying capacity, is in the 900lb range. You will need an extreamly light travel trailer for that truck. Think about it. By the time you hook the 700+lb tongue weight on the truck. Only leaves 200 or so lb for you and the family in the truck

Look at the tire inflation sticker inside the driver's door. It will say something like "the weight of passengers and cargo should not exceed xxxx lbs. That is your particular truck's payload capacity, and it is the limit you will reach first when towing with a half ton truck.

The OP has been asked for this before and he seems unwilling to post the number. Not sure why?
