Using my company truck as an example I would have 1410 pounds for payload, a fueled up M8 163 is roughly 525 pounds, with two of them I would only have 360 pounds for a deck, passengers, sledin' gear etc...

I think you would be over. Really unless you want to buy a dually a trailer is the way to go if you want to be legal.
