One thing to keep in mind is that the actual payload will change depending on the drive configuration and the trim package. So my 2013 Yukon XL Denali AWD has a slightly lower payload than a similar...

I don't want to 5er, but I'm curious: why should there be any sag at all? Does not this imply that the chassis is bending?
