LOL, have you actually ever scaled your truck loaded ready to travel? Not uncommon for RAWs to be around 32-3500 pounds. Your mega cab truck loaded ready to go will scale riight around 8000 pounds. With a SRW GVWR of 10,000 pounds that leaves you in the real world 2000 pounds for additional stuff. You need to give honest scaled weight numbers of you want to be taken seriously.

Dang Donn back off you have stated your point!
While I don't recommend to others to run over GVWR, I do and have a great towing experance. My 2001 Ram 2500 carries and tows our 12,360# GVWR 5er great.
Last time I scaled TV was at about 10,200# (8,800# GVWR) still have about 500# spare capacity on the VIN rear axle of 6,084#.
My 2500 has a camper package with optional 265/75-16E tires 3,415# ea so well within capacity.
I don't need or have bags, don't need them, go figure.
