It depends on YOUR truck's warranty plate on the drivers side door jamb.
It should show you the MAX GVW, and also show the MAX for front and rear separately, you can get an idea of your payload by checking your registration weight, and your waranty plate, your registration weight should be close to what your truck weighs empty.

You can see your particular truck's actual reserve capacity (the amount the axles can carry over the weight of the truck) on the door jamb sticker straight across from the VIN number inside a thin L-shaped line. There's a number following an F for the front axle reserve, and another following an R for the rear. That's the GAWR minus the actual weight your truck puts on that axle, leaving you with the available cargo weight.
Of course, the truck can actually carry MUCH more than that safely...

alright ill check that out. i think i had a little too much weight in it at one time. loaded the whole thing full of wood. it was stacked so high that i had to put a piece of plywood along the side of the bed so i could fit more wood. it almost looked like i had a low rider with big tires.

First find out the GVWR on your truck. Then go fill up your truck with fuel and go down to a public scale and weight the truck with you in it. Subtract the scale weight from your GVWR and that is your payload.
