If every 250/2500 towing over GVWR, but under the GAWRings(AKA tire ratings for the rear) was parked on the side of the roads, the country would be littered with them coast to coast and border to border. Just staying!

LOL!!:B
Me Again, you hit the nail on the head!!!
The reason is that most 250/2500 run a GVWR of 85% of axle ratings, Take a F150 Max/Max is about 94%, and the F150 Max tow, is about 98% of axle ratings.
I will confess I didn't do numbers, before signing the papers set the 5er on the hitch and eyeballed, truck was better than level, so we signed. We did get a bit of a surprise when we hit a weigh station on the first trip out.
