Have you compared the physical size of a F150 to an F250 lately? I don't see that much difference.
I drive mine every day and can put it just about anywhere, far better than stretching the limits on a semi floating rear axle.
Currently the F150 GVWR is currently running about 95% or more of total GAWR, which means that you can exceed the GRAWR without exceeding the GVWR.
Yes, I also exceed my GVWR, but I still have 1,000# of rear axle capacity, on a full floating rear axle which means I have four big bearings supporting my payload, not two small bearings, and I don't need or have air bags. The truck came stock with a camper package and has one ton rear springs.
