Not saying they don't exist but I have never seen a payload number on a door sticker. GVWR and axle ratings are legal requirements, payload is not and will be different for every truck depending on how it is optioned.
The label on the door pillar must state "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed xxxx#/xxxxKg"
That number is the max PAYLOAD capacity!
Odd choice of words then. Should instead of shall or will. Should is normally used as a recommendation rather than a directive.
Me Again already covered that.
Not really but it doesn't matter as the only thing in question in a court would be GVWR and GAWR. There is no should when it comes to them, only shall.
That''s why it is on the loading information sticker and not the load limits sticker.
