The yellow/white sticker on the driver side door post will state the Cargo Carrying Capacity (payload) for THAT TRUCK, as it was built and leaving the assembly line. Brochures, ads, online guides are useless....unless you have the same truck as they base their MAXIMUM capacities on....and that is a fact.
That's my point. There is not a "one size fits all".
