Generally speaking you're correct but believe it not the only dept and people that have access to the info and the knowledge to figure payload is salespeople. Only one or two out of hundred salespeople that work on the "floor" actually know how to do it though. Knowledgeable folks in the fleet dept that deal with ordering chassis cabs (bare bones - no bed) and add aftermarket equip for service trucks (as in utility company trucks) are the exception. They have to compute payload for a custom configured rig on regular basis. You can call me FOS but 3/4 ton Dodge trucks of that era were only capable (per Dodge specs) of carry the very lightest campers. As a rough rule of the thumb the camper could not exceed 1500 lbs dry weight. Once you added passengers, fuel, filled up the camper with water and stuff, you'd be at or over max GVW. If you had a camper that hung past the tailgate on a 3/4 T Dodge it was overloaded per Dodge specs. But ... In a practical sense folks put big campers on older 3/4 T Dodge trucks and get away with it just fine.
