Payload clarification
Hey guys, my truck's yellow sticker door jamb sticker states 1946lb payload. I was at a friend's today and was just curious what his was as it's a 2014 and his sticker states 1400 lb pay load. I mentioned I was surprised as he has 3.73 gears his payload wasn't higher and he said that's only based on the factory tires and that now that he has 10 ply tires his payload is higher. I was under the impression the yellow sticker is basically calculating GVWR minus the factory truck's weight regardless of what tires you use.

You can NOT change the payload rating...or ANY other rating on a vehicle , in any way.......short of getting it re-engineered and stamped! As to why your payload rating is different than your...there is not near enough information stated for anyone to "analyze". Year of truck? Trim Package? Model? WB? Engine? and the list goes on....
|
In short: your buddy is WRONG |

Thanks for clarifying that, he's an engineer so I started second guessing my self.

if he doesn’t have max tow package then his truck will have lower payload then yours. If his truck does have max tow, but is higher trim(would have to be an absolutely loaded platinum to be that low I think) then it will be lower. my 2014 supercrew long bed Lariat with max tow has a 1560 lb payload to give you a reference but that is about the same as similarly option 2015+ trucks. |
In fact it is possible that those 10 ply tires reduce his available payload if they weigh more than the factory tires.

There's no such thing as "10 ply" tires anymore. What he might be referring to is "10 ply rated" tires. It's the load index that determines the tire's load capacity. |
