What is everyone seeing for payload on the yellow sticker on their truck.  I am specifically looking for the 3500 SRW Long Bed Denali Duramax but curious to see all the different configurations.  I know the advertised payload but I want to see everyone’s real life numbers.

 

Make sure to leave the model/trim/cab/bed/engine 

 

Thanks

Hmmmm... 2500 custom crew cab, 6.6 gas with plow prep and I'm only showing 3411. This 7" info screen must really be super heavy.

That sticker shows GVWR derated to 10000.

I believe the 'no mechanical differences' is correct.  For legal issues the sticker is still the limit. (which probably matters more for commercial uses than for recreational use)   It'

I looked at the exact set up you are describing (4x4) to find the payload at just under 3,600.  I was shocked, as advertised was around 4,200.  Ended up going DRW as a result.

The Duramax certainly seems to take a chunk out of the payload. My 3895 lb rating is plenty for what I tow. But I can see how some folks towing really heavy could be disappointed - especially in the highly optioned trucks.

am kinda shocked that 3500 payload is only couple hundred pounds more than 2500 in alot of cases.....thought it would be significantly more for some reason.....guess since a 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton is huge step so figured it would be another big step to 1 ton....

The bigger increase in payload comes with the dually.

Yeah you really become limited by tires.

 

 

The 3/4 ton is nice because you dont have your tpms going off under 80psi in the rear.  But sometimes you need the little extra 1 ton SRW capacity.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all that information, I might purchase one and see if it will work for me, if not they may let me return it! Yes for sure the tires are definitely within limit for my truck empty, and when I do tow I'll definitely make sure to raise the rear psi for the amount of weight that's going to be on it.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes exactly, more and more these days people/companies are afraid of liability issues so its easier just to say no rather than risk putting their neck on the line.    I will say with the Autel unit or when I used it last year on my truck, it wasn't like I could choose the 2025 model year or even the 2024 model year as that option was not there to manipulate the placard pressures but had to go back to 2023 or there abouts and then it showed up as an option, odd but that was how the software was then and I can't say one way or the other now as they throw out updates every so often. I still would talk to your tire dealer though to start with and they may do it for nothing but also they may have a comment on a better unit to purchase. All I know is that one of the large tire shops in my area happens to use these Autel units for their use and set them up to use the wifi and all of that jazz for constant updating because each tire tech has one handed to them by the shop but I just plugged it into my laptop to update it and yes if one is bought it has to be registered so you can get the link to do updates and then the unit has to be updated before its even used. I am not at all techy so it took me a bit but anyway just a heads up for anything you buy, most likely it will need to be connected to a computer to access the internet to have it updated to the latest software version before you can put it to use.   If your truck is near empty, those tire pressures you listed are a very safe upper range pressures to carry the weight, both the front and rear as I know they could be run lower yet with an empty truck. And if its a trailer and not some motorcycle your going to strap onto the front of your truck on a rack, you shouldn't have a need to inflate your front tires if your at 55 front already, its the rear ones that would need more air if you have much hitch weight.

      Tire psi

      Thank you, I'll check that Autel scanner out and see if it will work for me! Ya I can see GM's point of view if they lower the psi set value for someone and the person sell's the truck and the new owner puts the factory tires back on then their could be liability issues cause the psi warning light wasn't coming on when the tires were under inflated for towing their load and then it might be able to be traced back to GM lowering it.

      Tire psi

      I had a similar but different response when I talked to the service manager where I bought my truck in that he said GM corporate won't allow them to lower the placard pressure setting as they would get their hand slapped but that of course they have the ability to make that change. His suggestion was simply go to a tire dealer or third party shop that is willing to reset the pressures lower. However I chose to buy a tpms tool and partly based off of this very forum as it had been proven to work on the 2024 model ( Global B system ) and while I could have paid lots for a full two way diag tool, I didn't want to spend that much and bought the recommended Autel TS 508 and it will reprogram the 2025 model and assume it should do the 2026 as well. However the tool is rather proprietary to reprogramming Autel tpms sensors so that is a function I will never use, where as a real two way scanner would have many uses but also have yearly subscriptions etc where this 508 is free updates for as long as they put updates out for the unit. In any event it worked to lower the placard pressures and I often use it to adjust my actual tire pressures although will check with a mechanical gauge as well sometimes just to make sure that tires tpms sensor isn't lying to me.    My suggestion is either buy a tool that you know will work to adjust the system or start out by getting the tire shop you bought your tires from to reset your truck and if after that you still want a unit to do it yourself, get one at that point.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Here is an image of a quick Google search about these tires on my truck and it's exactly same psi recommendation the Toyo tires company gave me!    I'm not looking for anyone else recommended psi or anything, I'm just looking to see if anyone knew a way to get rid of the factory low psi warning light, because I'm not running high psi and ruining my tires when I'm not towing!
