I happened to be at the recycling center yesterday and ran it over the scale. It weighed 7,120lbs with me (~180lbs) in it plus the aluminum cargo slide (~150lbs). So 10,000lbs GVRW - curb weight of 7,120lbs = 2,880lbs payload. 3,030lbs if you ditch the cargo slide.
@Victorian I know you were concerned about tip over risks with deeper cab over sections on empty slide-ins in the past. Any chance there will be a 2.0 with a 60" cab over? Even pushing it to 54" (full size mattress width) would be very helpful with fitting everything into the smaller slide-in...
Awesome truck! Love utilitarian look. Be on the lookout for some tow mirrors. I think the newer 2008-2016 may fit but do your homework first.
Do you have any camper interior photos. I'm working on dialing in my layout for a future 6.5' TC order that will be riding in basically the same truck.
It may be a touch lighter than I thought:
6230lbs internet curb weight + 400lbs for camper shell and bed slide = 6630lbs
10000lbs GVWR - 6630lbs curb weight guestimate = 3370lbs payload available
