Need Help with my math, please!

For figures- my loaded tongue weight properly loaded is 700lbs. Roughly. I carry 5 passengers. Me (250) my son (210) my wife and two daughters equalling 400 between the three. So 800 plus pounds of passengers. A full 36 gallon tank (400 or so?) And about 200 lbs in the bed. The passenger, fuel and bed weight is what we weighed BEFORE even buying a TT. Sick, isn't it? We are technically overloaded (or close to) for a weekend trip to Medicine Hat.

So with that truck, I could hitch up a trailer with 1000# loaded tongue weight because the wife and I and junk in the truck weigh about 480# or so.
But if I start adding the kayaks, and Leer cap and even more junk, I'd run into trouble. So I'm glad we got the truck with 2050# payload.

If 1480# is the yelo-sticker payload, that's what you can put in/on your truck. It includes people, tongue weight, and other junk. It excludes gas.
