Whats your payload capacity???

That isn't the payload sticker - that is the tire pressure sticker. 

 

The serial number of the truck is on the sticker.

The pressures listed are for the tires that were installed on the truck.

 

There will be a second sticker on the door post.  It is also printed specific to the vehicle/serial number.

Down near the bottom.  Easy to miss.  (other posts have pictures of the payload sticker)

Similar to the tires pressure sticker, they know what options are installed by serial number and establish payload from those numbers. 

 

Any accessory added at dealer or by owner, that wasn't on the factory order, is considered 'payload'.

 

 

Read the third line.  That is your payload capacity for that specific truck.  In my case, my payload capacity for my 2019 Silverado 1500 is 1910 pounds.  It has nothing to do with max tow capacity.  The other sticker you're referring to will give you the GVWR and the rating of the front and rear axles.  2019 and newer GM 1500 trucks have a third sticker that provides all the relevant trailer towing information.

Again, you're quoting the standard for max tow rating, not payload capacity.  

Wow, And I thought I was stubborn! Gesh

 

 Every version of the SAE J2807 that I have read online says the PAYLOAD is figured with a 150# driver and passenger. 70# hitch allowance, full fuel, and 10% trailer wt. on hitch.

 

Just going off what the SAE states. Might I ask where you are getting your information from?

Just like everyone else, you are confusing the payload capacity of a truck vs the max tow rating of a truck.  SAE J2807 deals with how the max tow rating of a truck is determined.  Nothing more.  Payload capacity is the amount of payload you can have in a truck before you exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of that truck.  Payload capacity includes occupants and cargo.  It has nothing to do with J2807.  For the Silverado/Sierra 1500, payload capacity is Gross Vehicle Weight Rating minus Curb Weight.  And we all know that curb weight is the weight of an empty vehicle.  It does not include the driver, passengers or any cargo.  If you look at the trailering information sticker from my Silverado you can see the Gross Vehicle Weight rating is 7300 lbs and the curb weight is 5390.  7300 minus 5390 = 1910, which is the payload capacity of my truck.  That's where the 1910 lbs on the yellow sticker comes from.  That 1910 lbs has nothing to do with two 150 lb people or a 70 lb hitch.  That 1910 lbs is the total payload capacity for occupants, to include the driver, and cargo.

can we just get back to posting payload capacity guys ?  

1900 for a LTZ is solid. 

[ChuckTaylor]

Trying to figure out what an LTZ with tech and safety II works out to be in payload -- anyone out there have something close?

This is sort of specific, but can someone with a crew cab, standard bed, Z71, 3.0 Duramax please post a picture of their payload and towing sticker on the inside of the driver's door? I know that they are rated to tow 9200lbs. but that is all that I glanced at when I looked at them in person. The showroom is closed so I cannot go see one myself and there is one on the lot near me that I have my eye on.

Another request: anyone put one on a scale and see how much rear axle weight on a CC+5' or 6' bed?  Wondering how much rear axle reserve there is.

I dumped 2200 pounds of crushed stone (x2 trips) in the back of my '19 Elevation. She was slammed, but only drove a couple miles home.

2020 Custom Trail Boss 5.3 6 speed CC Short Bed

Payload 1735

GVWR 7000

GCWR 15,000

RGAWR 3800

I have as well more than a few times which is why I want to trade it in for 2500.....but ill have to say for 1/2 ton its pretty respectable.....just be nice to haul loads in 1 trip and not 2 or 3 and had mine slammed already more than few times.....had to take streets to job, wouldn't make it on freeway

Chuck,

I put my 2021 SLT (basically fully loaded, minus sun roof), 6.2 and Max tow on a scale on Saturday. Also, I had about 40 pounds of gear in the bed, and a nearly full tank of gas. Cab was empty while on the scale.

Front Axle Weight:  3060 pounds

Rear Axle Weight:  2580 pounds

 

My Payload capacity on sticker is 1777 pounds.

Curb weight on sticker is 5523 pounds.

GAWR front on sticker:  3800 pounds

GAWR rear on sticker:  4150 pounds.

 

I then hooked my boat/trailer up.

My tongue weight was 780 pounds. This leaves me with 1000 pounds for people and gear to maximize my payload capacity.

390 pounds shifted from front axle to the rear axle.

 

I need to fully load my boat with fuel and gear and then bring my whole family in the truck to the scale to get final numbers. I'll likely max out my payload, but everything else should be okay.

LTZ is available in multiple configurations.

For 2021, all are crew cab, but also need to define 2wd/4wd, which engine, and short/standard box.

i had 1800 on my RST 2019 went to 3596 on 2500 2020 and now 1717 on GMC elevation 2021....probably 20'' rims that reduced payload between 2 1500 trucks
