You guys that have a pre '13 model 3500 SRW Dodge truck seems to forget Dodge only rates your SRW at 6200-6500 RAWR with a paltry 10100 GVWR vs fairhaven's F350 SRW with a 11500 GVWR and 7000 RAWR. Apples vs oranges in load carrying capacities.
The comment that the SRW rear axle will some how break or other scare comments is hilarious as usual.
The wheel or tires will go long before you break a rear axle on the Ford or Dodge or GM one ton SRW trucks when severally overloaded. So far no one has reported being over weight.
Who said anything about an axle breaking? I missed that one. It would REALLY take some very heavy weight to push an axle to a "breaking" level....Guess I missed that one...only thing I noticed OP stated was that he knew all his weights, stated he was UNDER all his trucks weights, BUT, also stated when he last weighed, he was 218# under his trucks RAWR....I questioned if he had GVWR confused with RAWR...if he's under all his weights, then he must be 218# under his trucks GVWR, NOT his trucks rear axle weight rating......
