Door sticker says never exceed 1263 lbs of cargo/passengers.
What!? That can't be right. I've found many other sources on line that state the payload as 1889 lbs. What gives here? My truck is a 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 Classic.

My 2003 silverado 2500HD, LS trim with gas engine has 2,732 lbs of payload and 9,200 GVWR. That includes a 150 lb person in each seat and full tank of fuel.My truck weighs 5,800 and I weigh 220 so technically I have 3,330 lbs of payload. I have had over 3,000 pounds in it and I assure you I wouldn't be comfortable with that weight on a regular basis. 2,000- 2,500 lbs would be more realistic.
Go out and actually weigh it...guessing you'll be surprised that it
will weigh closer to +7K lbs than 5,800. Betcha a Costo Dog Lunch... :B
Then everything else that is based on that 'curb' weight will be reduced...
