You did your homework and your truck is just fine. You're true payload id dictated by your axle rating and load capacity of your tires. Don't pay any attention to the yellow sticker except for tire pressure. I have said it a thousand times but these old guys thin k you ain't driving a dully than you don't have enough truck. It's nonsense. My F250 is capable of towing a 5er weighing 15.900 pounds. But if I go by the sticker than I can only tow the 900 part. It's just stupid to think your truck is limited by some sticker that has a 10,000 payload limit. You can get the same sticker on a one ton just the same. Your truck is just fine. Don't let these I played a layer on tv tell you different.
