Why does a sun roof change the max payload?   

 The sunroof adds weight to the vehicle.  The weight of your vehicle's options gets added to the curb weight.  Subtract the curb weight from the GVWR and you have your payload capacity.

My 16 with a 6.2 is 1,614 payload and 864 truck camper rating, lol.    That being said- I installed Timberens   In the rear and I have personally hauled over 2,000lbs in the bed from Estes P

Think about it.  How can payload capacity that is specific to each truck include arbitrary weights?  And people will not necessarily be towing, so why include a 70 lb hitch?  This is the payload stick

That isn't the payload sticker - that is the tire pressure sticker.    The serial number of the truck is on the sticker. The pressures listed are for the tires that were installed on th

My new 2019 Sierra Denali 4x4 Short bed rated @ 1486 lbs 

My old 2016 Sierra Denali 4x4 standard bed was @ 1396 lbs 

Not much of a change considering the 2016 standard bed accounted for most of the weight difference?

Yeah agreed.  Little odd actually. Only difference is 22. Vs 20 wheels.  The 2019 has 22 wheels

I know GM bragged about making the T1XX trucks lighter, but I have not seen much change in payload # vs a similar equipped K2XX.

 

I do like the increased cab size, exterior design, and the new HD's with the 6' 9" standard bed.

Just haul what you want and don't think twice about it.  The truck isn't going to fold in half and the drivetrain isn't going to grenade.  Drive sanely and you'll be fine.  I routinely drop over 2k in my F150 without batting an eye, never even hits the bump stops, and been doing it for almost 160k miles.  I once had almost 3k in my '17 Silverado and it did the job just fine.  Stop worrying; GM's marketing departments would have you buy a 2500 just to haul a bass boat.  Very few people who buy trucks ever get anywhere close to its actual limits.

 

I'll throw this out there: my '84 S10 with a 2.8 V6 (110 hp), 5 speed, single piston front calipers and rear drums has a rated payload of 1500 lbs.  Do you honestly think that ANY 2019 Silverado can only safely handle 1 human body's weight over that????

 

Unsafe, overweight, blah blah blah.

That’s a 6.2 NHT truck.

Oops I originally had a 5.3 truck and saw this one at the last minute. He wanted a non Z71 LTZ.

It all helps for my diesel forecasting.  Local Denali 6.2 CC SB was supposedly 5475curb/1625payload according to the dealer, which isn't that bad either.  AT4 was 5465curb/1535payload.  Where are all the GMC forum members?

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Another JR · Posted

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
