We think it's important for truck owners to be informed about their vehicles. One of the most crucial things to know is the difference between payload and towing. Knowing the difference between towing and payload capacity can prevent you from damaging your truck.
Payload capacity refers to how much weight the vehicle can hold. This includes the weight of passengers as well as luggage, equipment, and other items. It doesn't solely refer to items in the back of the truck. Towing capacity, on the other hand, is about how much weight the truck can pull. When you attach a trailer to the truck, that is towing. Payload capacity is typically lower than towing capacity, so you can see how problems can arise when people think the terms are interchangeable.
Truck owners must understand the difference between payload and towing to prevent damage to their vehicles. Payload is how much weight it can carry, and towing is how much weight it can pull. If you have any other questions, we are happy to answer them. At Gwinnett Place Ford here in Duluth, you can also bring your truck in whenever it's in need of servicing.
