Also question is, what is a payload capacity?

A vehicle's payload capacity is the amount of weight the vehicle can carry within its cabin or on the truck bed. Anything you put inside your vehicle, whether it be cargo or passengers, counts towards the vehicle's payload.

Secondly, what happens if you exceed truck payload? The added pressure on the shocks, suspension system and the wheels will make it more difficult to control the truck. Moreover, when exceeding payload capacity you're at an increased risk of a tire blowout. Tires have weight limits posted on the sidewalls and exceeding them is never smart.

Also know, is fuel included in payload?

Payload is stated on the door sticker and includes everything your vehicle left the factory with, and a full tank of fuel. Anything beyond that, including a driver or accessories must be deducted from payload.

How do you calculate the payload of a truck?

Payload capacity can be determined by an easy calculation. Simply subtract your truck's curb weight from the GVWR to get the payload capacity. For example, say your truck's GVWR is 7050 lbs and your truck's curb weight is 4500 lbs. Its load capacity would be 2550 lbs.
