Payload is the limit that actually binds on most half ton trucks and nearly every SUV. What is left for tongue or pin weight once the people and the gear are in.
Every page here is computed rather than written, so the figures match the calculator that produced them exactly. Published standards and rules of thumb are labelled separately on every table, because on this subject they are not equivalent. Every table is plain HTML you can quote.
