At least in my truck, they are both truck specific, and the one in the door is total payload generally, and there is a lower rating in the glovebox for the max weight using a "slide in camper."

I looked it up and the glove box sticker is the capacity after calculating the seating for however many passengers the truck is designed to carry x 150lbs.

Towing capabilities of 3/4 vs. 1 ton

you are exactly right. if i max my seating capacity out at 150lbs each, which is completely. laughable, those 2 #’s match. now if you use real world weights their not even close, makes a pretty anemic pickup. .

By the numbers it makes the truck worthless for carrying anything. I will stick with my tire rating and registration weight ratings. After weighing my pickup if i went by axle rating i have 2900 lbs i can carry and by tire rating 3700 lbs give or take a couple lbs. The yellow sticker says 1995 lbs.
