Re: Payload
The numbers that matter are mfgr's GVW rating, subtract net weight (weight of truck empty) and you have the actual payload.
Especially with 1 ton trucks, most of the most common uses did exceed mfgr's GVW rating. What's funny is the MVA allows you to register them above that rating. In Maryland, a 1t can't be registered below 10,000# while 1/2ts & 3/4ts can be registered 'up to' 10,000#
I would want hydraulics rated well above the payload.
