Truck & Trailer Payload Calculator
Payload capacity = GVWR − curb weight. A truck with a 7,200 lb GVWR and 5,100 lb curb weight has 2,100 lb of payload. Subtract passengers, cargo and any trailer tongue weight from that figure to see what's left.

You have 1,400 lb of payload left after passengers, cargo and tongue weight.
Payload = GVWR − curb weight, both found on the vehicle's door jamb sticker. Tongue weight is typically 10-15% of a conventional trailer's gross weight.
