I was also taken by the Weight Penalty the Diesel option places on the Truck, like I said my initial plan was for a 5th wheel.


Gray sticker has the gawr ratings for your truck. Usually right by the yellow/black/white sticker you posted in pic 1. Assuming you are at full load is all one can do if you haven't loaded and scaled. And, 1458 for two folks isn't excessive IMO. Last I scaled we had about 1300 and now we've moved to the 5th so don't know exactly. The diesel takes a big chunk out of payload on any middle sized truck.
