Greetings all. I’ve got a 2015 Bighorn, 5.7 Hemi. Is fuel weight included with the payload weight or added to it along with passengers? TIA

Fuel is added as load. Just like passengers, cargo, trailer tongue weight, etc... all of which are subtracted from the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating to get your payload.

Curb weight is the weight of the vehicle including a full tank of fuel and all standard equipment.
It does not include the weight of any passengers, cargo, or optional equipment. Curb weight is considered the closest weight to the actual weight of the vehicle.

A truck's payload capacity refers to the maximum amount of weight you can safely add to a truck's cargo area in addition to its empty weight (or curb weight).

sorry MADDOG, i just looked it up
