How to Calculate Truck Payload Capacity ? If you have a light-duty truck with a GVWR of 9,000 pounds and a curb weight of 6,000 pounds, the payload capacity will be 3,000 pounds GVWR – curb weight = payload capacity 9,000 pounds – 6,000 pounds = 3,000 pounds
How to Calculate Truck Towing Capacity ? You need to know the GCVWR and the curb weight. Subtract the latter amount from the former to find the maximum towing capacity: GCVWR – curb weight = maximum towing capacity 15,000 pounds – 6,000 pounds – 1,250 pounds – (3 people x 150 pounds each) – 1,190 pounds = 6,110 pounds towing capacity with body additions.
