Hroddv8,
I had made the mistake of relying on specs. I figured I was close, perhaps a few hundred pounds heavy. Then I got on the scales, did some quick math and in fact I was 2000 lbs over! I couldn't believe it so when I got home, I removed my hitch, filled the truck with fuel and went to the scales again to weigh just the truck. The payload capacity that I thought I had, wasn't close to the specs. By the time I added options, tools and other personal items, the actual payload was about 70% of what I though I had. Add passengers and the hitch...well you get my point.
Now, I only rely on the scales. The specs are just guides to start. Just my personal experience.
