Pickup Decisions...
When buying a heavy beasty pickup, are you more concerned about it's age or it's mileage? Would you prefer a 95 with 75,000 miles over a 2004 with 130,000? Useful life for gas vs. diesel? For me...

People get confused by the GVWR which is a rating classification done for DOT and your state DMV. The manufacturer provides a payload rating that takes into account a passenger load and for every seat in the cab a 150 lb. deduction is made. That is why the regular cab trucks have the highest payload ratings.
The payload sticker on my truck seems to imply that the payload sticker *does not* accommodate the weight of passengers:
i.e. it states that "The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed: 3418 lbs." I would be curious to know if these stickers were not standardized across vendors.
