I was wondering where/how the payload capacity is calculated.
To my knowledge, it is GVWR - curb weight.


According the sticker in my 94 V6's glovebox, the payload capacity is 900 lbs., and the GVWR is 4310 lbs.

Gen 3 Camry's appear to weigh in at less than 3300 lbs, with the base vehicles being as light as 2900 lbs.

Wouldn't this make the payload capacity atleast 1100 lbs?

 

You will need to determine the curb weight of your car then subtract from GVWR.

Camry empty weight varies with model, what model do you have?

V6 curb weight varies from 3200-3400 lbs.

 

Ah, sorry, I should have mentioned that in the first post.

I have a 1994 Camry Coupe V6 LE, with the Automatic transmisson.

 

Curb weight is approx 3219 lbs.

To know for such have the car weighed with a fuel tank of gas and no driver.

4310 - 3219 = 1091 lbs useful load.

 

Thanks for the info mate!

I wonder why the payload is listed as 900 lbs. when the curb weight of the vehicle is ~3219.

Either way, you're right, I'd have to get it weight if I wanted to get the payload capacity.
