Thanks 392 DevilDog. I think it is funny how they changed the passenger weight from 150 in 2014 to 300 in 2019. Also thanks for the info I found the site and looked up my trucks info.

They used to just do driver at 150. Now it is driver/passenger 300.Thanks 392 DevilDog. I think it is funny how they changed the passenger weight from 150 in 2014 to 300 in 2019. Also thanks for the info I found the site and looked up my trucks info.
I hear what you're saying but that's not the case. Payload is determined in part by curb weight of the vehicle. The curb vehicle weight is the weight of the vehicle with all of it's fluids at full capacity. I've also confirmed this with Ram.It depends on how you do the math. When he says subtract it, he means subtract it from the remaining available payload weight.
You are correct. I was not talking to the gas weight point, but rather to the point of it being "just the opposite" math-wise.You don't subtract the weight of gas from anything, at anytime. You never worry about it, just like you never worry about the weight of your oil or your rad fluid or your transmission fluid.
This was explained so clearly in multiple posts above you; payload has nothing to do with gas. It's everything else you add; people, cargo, stuff in your bed, and the weight of and on your hitch.
Agreed. My step-son has a 2020 Tundra with a max tow of 9800lbs. His new 2021 Grand Design Imagine 3250BH weighed 9300lbs on the CAT scales with 1100lbs tongue weight. I towed it home from the dealership with my 2500 but he towed it to his campground with his truck. He weighed it too. He was under his max tow by 500lbs he was over his GRAWR by 160lbsThe only way to hit gross trailer weight, without exceeding rear axle rating, is with a gooseneck equipment trailer properly loaded over the trailer axles. That was true for my 1500, 2500 and now my 3500.
