That 1661# is TOTAL Cargo Carrying Capacity
That includes your weight above 150#, weight of ALL other passengers, weight of ALL stuff in cab (backpacks, bags, stuff in floor/under seats, etc.), weight of hitch/ball shank and the trailers tongue weight (12%-15% of trailer GVWR)
Also what is trucks RAWR, GVWR and Rear tire Load rating?
Run out of payload LNG before reaching that magical mfg. marketing dept. max tow rating
