Towing capacity, payload, etc... not the same old thread:)

I haven't seen a thread discussing this, but admittedly only done a fairly basic search. Hopefully this isn't too big a can of worms like the other thread, but, how does towing and payload come in...

It's not complicated.

You have to deduct the tongue weight from the payload.

e.g.
If:
Max payload = 2000
and:
Tongue weight = 700
then:
Available payload= 1300

Keep in mind: payload = weight of passengers, fuel and cargo.
