Man I appreciate your help but neither really worked. The first link only lists for an SLT Megacab and I have a Laramie with options. So it is probably close for payload but not exact because I don't know the weight of my options.

The second link still says no VIN information available.

Bummer. Both sites work for me. Wonder why they don't work for you?

Since you have your truck just look at the loading sticker in the driver's door jamb. It has all of the relevant information there, and is the only "legal" source of truth. The online tool is really most useful for comparing trucks that you're looking at online.

Use that chart for GCWR as it won't change with trim/options (other than power train options).

Then use the door sticker cargo to determine your curb weight (GVWR minus cargo capacity). You can then use the notes at the bottom of the tow charts to determine max tow rating (passenger weight, accessory weight, hitch weight, etc).

That's all the website does for you.

I just bought a new car. I want to know more about using a vin lookup tool. Basically, I want to install it. So that I can easily track my car location if needed. Which one are you using right now? If this one for free or paid?

Oh silly silly spammer/BOT.
 
The link for the towing capacity worked for me the other day - now I am getting this as well:

The towing VIN lookup is very hit or miss, it's been that way for 2 years now.

Maybe they're lowering everyone's payload and towing again.

If that’s the case i will be competing with honda crvs for payload capacity.
 
On a positive note my towing number increased by 92 pounds from 16620 to 16713 pounds.

I also noticed a buddy’s 2018 HO went up 247 pounds.

So its not all doom and gloom.
