Just take your GCVWR minus your truck GVWR and that will equal what the max weight of your trailer can be when it’s loaded. Most people will have no problem loading up a 1500 to max payload either. I will use my 13 Silverado I had as an example. 15000 minus 7000 equals 8000 but truck had BS tow rating of 9500lbs. Payload was 1531 lbs.
