Throw the WDH in the trunk (or truck bed) then load up with the usual passengers and stuff you travel with in the TV. Head over to a Flying J or Pilot truck stop. Fill up the tank and drive across the CAT scales. Now look in your door jam and find the sticker that shows GVWR. Take that number minus the Total Weight on your CAT ticket. That answer is your Payload also known as your TV cargo carry capacity. Dont be surprised if that number is different than the TV stickers printed payload since that printed payload from the factory didnt account for passengers, fuel, bed liners, etc.
As an example, my 2500HD has a GVWR of 10,000# (as do many 3/4 ton pickups). My Payload is 2,020# but the sticker says Payload 2,515. The difference for me is hitches, airbags, side steps and a bed cover as well as passengers and fuel. Rather than add the pieces it is just simpler to do a weight fully loaded and subtract from the GVWR.
By the way, if you do a second weight with trailer hooked up, you will have all the info you need to calc your pin weight or tongue weight as well as your WDH weight shifts.
