...lol, that actually isn't too uncommon these days.
Once you add (4) people at say....650 lbs total...that leaves you with a solid 400 lbs worth of payload.
...just enough for some luggage and a couple of purses, lol.

That said, the tow capacity (not the payload) is probably pretty high...just keep the load behind the truck on its wheels and you are ok.
