Oddly enough my door sticker does not indicate my max payload for the truck. And there is conflicting numbers about the "payload capacity" online and given weights from the dealer directly.
I'm guessing the newer model trucks are quite more capable but restricted as jerry mentioned.
But I did read somewhere that potentially gvwr is a factor in authorities deeming being overloaded. Maybe someone can comment on that.
The truck max towing trailer weight is spec'd just above 19000 lbs.
Towing weight rating does NOT apply to a 5er so just forget that!!!
Legally all that matters is you don't overload the tires.
License the truck for the next tonn above it's actual loaded weight.
