The difference is for weight of passengers.
I thought they did away with that calculation when they figure available payload...and that payload is determined by weight of truck plus a full tank of gas plus driver subtracted from GVWR -- but no passengers? Geez...now I'm even contradicting myself! Hmm....8,000 lb truck. 275 lbs of diesel. 180 lb passenger. That's 8,455 lbs. 14,000 - 8,455 = 5,545 lbs. That's pretty close to 5,300 lbs. I'm sure someone will laugh at my numbers and set the record straight. :)
