Dually payload??
How do I figure a dually payload? I drove one and the sticker inside said the cargo rating is 2482#. Do you multiply x2 since it's a dually?

I just thought it was strange that a DRW 1 ton GMC Sierra would have a max payload of 2482#?
GVWR of 10000, GAVR 4500, GAWR 7500
The tires are 16s.
The truck did seem huge, very long - do you think they used up the weight with an extra long bed?
Is this a pre-2002 GM pickup? Dually pickups had 10k GVWRs for decades before that and the trucks themselves just kept getting heavier and heavier as redesigns resulted in heavier frames and larger cabs with more options became more common.
It is not uncommon for NEW DRW trucks these days to have 12-14k lb GVWRs, but that was not always the norm, especially not when 16 inch tires were common as the 17s and 18s have higher capacities.
