can someone please explain this for me?
I have always pulled a conventional bumper pull style RV. I am considering a 5th wheel. My TV is a 2003 F-250 Crew cab short box with the 6.0 diesel. I was looking in the manual this morning at towing...

So 2005 saw significant improvements, but it is generally accepted that the 99.5MY to 2004MY trucks were underrated and can safely handle near to, if not equal, payload. But you really have to watch those tire ratings on the early F250.
Yes, my 2000 F250 has the camper package with the auxilary springs, and the LT265/75R16 tires are rated at 3415 lbs each. So I would feel comfortable at 6800 lbs gross rear axle weight, even though my GVWR is only 8800. Loaded to 8800 lbs., the truck is barely even touching the overloads.
