Today when I went to the dump and I had my truck weighed after unloading everything including myself. I was very surprised when I was told that my truck weighed 5810 pounds with NOTHING in it other then a full tank of gas. Therefore my truck only has 1390 of payload. I thought that it being an XLT and a SCab I would have around 1800 or 1900 pounds. Does anyone have any ideas if the scale was not correct or does the truck really weigh that much.

Weighing it you calculated you have 1390 lbs of payload available. What does the door sticker say for a comparison? Driver side yellow sticker will have the factory payload available for that truck.

Have you got a toolbox, Bedliner, bed may, spray in, mud flaps, Nerf bars, or basically anything else on the truck. That all counts. My xlt for sticker lists about #1500 payload but I figure closer to 1000 with toolbox, etc.

I do not have any tool boxes or anything in the bed, not even the factory drop in liner. The only items that are in the truck is a wooden box I made and a rode side tool kit, they weigh 40 pounds at the most. Also I have heard a lot of talk about a yellow payload sticker but I figured it was only for the latest gen of trucks because I do not have one. The only sticker in the door jam is grey and it gives the vin and other info about the truck but there is no payload info.
