Forget about published payloads. A truck needs to be loaded with passengers, pets, fuel, and all the stuff you'll carry and driven to the nearest scales (CAT scales are the most common... found at many - if not most - truck stops). Weigh the truck. You'll get front and rear axle weights along with a total weight. Subtract those weights from the weight capacities on the door sticker. And remember - it's not just about pulling; it's about stability and stopping, as well.
