My '03 2500 Dodge/Cummins quad cab has a actual 3140 lb payload based on a 6000 RAWR with LT265/70-16 E tires.
This particular trucks front axle doesn't carry any part of my trailers bumper hitch or GN/5th wheel hitch weight as my pin is zero over the trucks rear axle.
Looking for payload based on GVWR not axle ratings but thanks for your info.
The year model '03 truck doesn't have a GVWR based payload placard as do many trucks prior to '05/'06 era when the tire placard payload became mandatory.
Also Ford markets F350 SRW with a 11500 GVWR and the same exact truck with a 10000 GVWR so GVWR based payloads will be different if your using a GVWR based payload.
And some of the new trucks with higher GVWRs payloads have overloaded the trucks RAWR numbers. One member bragged his '15 2500 Ram had a 3640 lb payload sticker. The truck will not carry 3460 lbs in the bed without overloading its RAWR.
Just points to ponder when using GVWR based payload numbers from many different trucks/owners.
