Where's the payload sticker on Rams?
I looked at the sticker on the door with the VIN, GAWR and GVWR. I expected it to include the available payload, but can't seem to find it.

If you're ever in a wreck where you're at 12k GVWR (which would also certainly put you over your RAWR) and injure another party (and I hope your never are) then the manufacturer's rating suddenly becomes very relevant, especially given you are aware of it.
OK, I have to repeat this in yet another thread. Washington state licensed our 8800 GVWR Dodge RAM at 12K. They do not give a rip about the manufacturers GVWR. They take tare weight times 1.5 and round up to next higher even K. Chris
Based on my inside experience with company lawyers you would be hard pressed to find one who would say "The truck is actually rated for 12,000# but it was de-rated to 10,000# for tax and license purposes".
We all know that it actually the case but I suspect to find someone to back it up in court would be a challenge.
