There's some oddities like the stupid Embraer 190 that doesn't have big enough tanks so it leaves weight open at MTOW with full fuel, but the majority of airliners trade payload for fuel/range or vice versa at higher weights.

The entire representation that I made was range vr payload for smaller aircraft as compared to commercial passenger jets.
