GVWR speaks to max payload, which is the amount of cargo you can safely haul IN the truck. Using my truck for example: GVWR = 9,200#. Subtract the curb weight of 6,097#. That gives you a payload capacity of 3,103#. You are correct that you need to subtract the weight of anything else in the truck, including you and the gas. But that tells you nothing about what you can actually tow behind the truck.
