Is it possible........
Can you get a close guess, ballpark, to what the actual payload is on a truck by the information provided by a VIN check?
Here is a read out on this truck: 1FTFW1E81NKE92868
Base Curb Weight4948, 4706, 4705 lbs 4705.0 min 5540.0
maxGross Axle Wt Rating - Front3650, 3450 lbs 3450.0 min 4050.0
maxGross Axle Wt Rating - Rear4150, 3400 lbs 3400.0 min 4800.0
maxCurb Weight - Front2809 lbs 2809.0 min 3098.0
maxCurb Weight - Rear1896 lbs 1896.0 min 2004.0
maxGross Vehicle Weight Rating Cap6600, 6900, 7050, 7350, 6470 lbs 6470.0 min 7850.0 max
I am guessing somewhere around 1500 pounds??????

The payload is curb weight plus estimated occupant rate subtracted from GVWR. If you have a door tag or find a sticker from a similar truck you can get close but not exact for one vehicle because every option changes the curb weight.

Thanks..... yeah I was deducting the curb weight from the GVWR and thinking it fell in there somewhere, but as you said the yellow sticker has the real dope, however they never show that when looking online.

Your payload is what the tires/wheels are rated at, minus the weight of your truck, at any given minute.
Passengers, fuel, groceries, etc change the payload limit. There is no single number that is "payload".

Yes, there literally is. GVWR - curb weight = payload. Why else would there be a sticker with a payload listed inside the door jam? Every lb you add to the vehicle including occupants lowers the available payload but the payload starts at GVWR - curb weight.

That number is not the legal payload.
You can register your GVWR to be anything you are willing to pay the upcharge for.
In Florida, up to 26,000 before CDL comes into play.
Don't exceed your registered axle rating, or the tires (tire ratings will come into play long before the axle rating) and you are legal.

CDL is only for commercial hauling. If you are towing a camper you don't need a CDL.
