To be honest I am focusing more on my rear axle capacity more than payload, still going to do my best to stay under if possible nut the axle capacity as well as tire and wheel ratings matter more in my opinion.

The 2k payload is to keep us at or under 10k GVW 3/4 ton rating, but look at your door sticker.

Mine states 6k front and 6.5k rear for ratings on my 17 2500.

Somebody correct me if I am wrong please!

Maybe there is more to payload than I am thinking, maybe not?
I had one RV dealer tell me I couldn’t leave the lot with one over the payload of 2350 on my 19 2500. It’s under the total GVWR for the towing capacity. It seems the newer 2500s are lower than some of the older ones.

My 2013 Montana 3750 FL best I can tell puts about 2700 on the pin and weighs 14700 with my clothes and stuff in it. I’ll weigh it on this truck next time I’m at a truck stop that’s easy to get to the scale.
