Where do i find cargo capacity on 12 chevy truck?

The year may depend upon the brand. My 2000 C2500 and an older Safari van from 01 both had payload stickers. As far back as my 1981, it had a camper load sticker, which is payload after deducting the 3 seat belts with people at 150 lbs ea. So that number plus 450 lbs was my total payload. Worked for my 88, 89, 96, 2000, 05.....also. The payload stickers of later years equal the camper load plus # os seatbelts at 150 lbs. This totals tare plus payload equal gvwr. This does NOT equal the tare plus payload equaling the axel wt totals. That can be from less than 5% for the safari. to over 10, close to 20% for my 05 dually!

Not sure what year trucks got the "Payload" sticker my 01 doesn't have one. So GVWR minus Scaled truck weight equals avaiable payload. Unless that number is greater than scale weight of rear axle minus rear axle weight rating.

2005 or 2006 or so, I think.

Cargo capactiy should be on the door sticker like the above photo. As fas as towing capacity, the detail is in the owners manual. Go the section on towing, it lists the different models with engine choices and gear sets, then lists max trailer weight and GCVW. To determine gear set, look for a tag in the glove box with the RPO codes. It'll be one of 3 codes, GU6 is 3.42s. GT4 is 3.73s. GT5 is 4.10s.

Different sticker. You're looking for one like this:

Should be two stickers on the door frame. If not then take it back to the dealer.
