The useful load on this new 182T was 1030 lbs.

What about standard empty weight? Compared?

Comparing an under-equipped model with an over-equipped competitor?

When I was buying my B36, one add stated "nicely equipped". Boy, I'll say;
_dual everything_ had brought the equipped useful load down to 880 lbs. Sans
fuel.
