The only 3300 lb payload I see shows a reg cab 2wd that has a rear base weight of 1843 lbs. Add the two gets us a 5143 lb which is a overload on the 4800 RAWR which is my point in my reply to redracer.

:h Guess I don't understand the point.
Subtracting the min rear base weight (options will increase it) from the rear GAWR gives: 4800 - 1843 = 2957# available to load up on the rear axle. Very close to 3000#. Leaving: 3300 - 2957 = 343# for the front. Of course these are MAX possible numbers, any options and stuff will reduce them.
