Generally..........nil to non on most trucks. Remember many trucks before '05 don't have a payload sticker (tire placard).
However "some" of the new gen trucks have a high GVWR and low RAWR numbers. Using the tire placard sticker payload number on these trucks can over load the trucks RAWR/tire ratings.
Every truck out here operating commercially does not carry weight determined by the mfg payload rating which is based on a GVWR number or the GVWR itself. I'm talking about the same trucks we RV with.
Regardless of size of the truck just stay under axle/tire load ratings.
