Except the people who own the monster trucks never carry more than 1500 lbs and rarely take it on the highway.

You might be shocked to know that fitting a family of four plus vacation gear quickly approaches 1.5k.

Payload capacity includes how much people weigh. It’s not just how much you can throw in the bed.

That's either a very heavy family or a lot of vacation gear! You would need all 4 people to be around 300lbs to start getting close.
