Needlessly complicating. No idea who sold you on the 1/2 tank of gas and 150 LB driver thing but....lol....ok. Load that baby up!

That's the formula used by many manufactures, it's not the "law" but is commonly used.
My truck has a GCVW of 14,600 lbs, and a max tow rating of 9500 lbs, subtract the two and you have a truck that should only weigh 5100 lbs...How much do you think an empty Titan weighs? I read around 4800 lbs here and there, so that puts my example real close.
I know many people overload their truck, but I just wanted to educate many who may have never seen how it's computed "by the numbers"...
I'm in the market for a TT with a GVWR of no more then about 6000 lbs, and pretty sure I'll be right at or 100 lbs over my trucks GVWR...
