What the numbers mean

Max trailer
The heaviest trailer the configuration is rated to pull, with the right hitch and the truck carrying only a driver. Every passenger and every pound in the bed comes off it.
Payload
What the truck can carry in the cab and bed, including people and the trailer's tongue or pin weight. It is GVWR minus the truck's own weight.
GVWR
Gross vehicle weight rating: the most the loaded truck may weigh, itself plus everything in it.
GCWR
Gross combined weight rating: the most the loaded truck and loaded trailer may weigh together. It is often the number that runs out first.
Axle ratio
A higher number (3.92 against 3.21) turns the engine faster at a given speed. It costs some fuel economy and usually raises the tow rating.
