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 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?
