Just checked my pillar and this truck does have this sticker, my 2010 had an 11,500# GVWR and did not have this data tag, interesting. Shows 5613# which is close when I take out the 3 adults and figure in the fuel to get to a full tank.

The 2340 lbs should be 2460 lbs for a Palomino Backpack HS-8801. We keep going back and forth between that and the SS-1251 that weighs much less.

Is the Center of Gravity, COG, listed as a height from the ground? The HS-8801 hard side is 42" and the SS-1251 soft side is 37".

COG is a horizontal measurement taken from the front of the camper/headboard of the bed back towards the rear axle (in most applications). Some manufacturers list them as measured from the tailgate forward. My Palomino was measured from the front towards the back at 37”. That put the COG forward of the rear axle, where you want it. COG is the front-rear balance point of the slide-on.
