Your truck is class 2 limited. This includes the 10,000 lb GVWR, even though it may have the same setup as the class 3 F350.
Your payload is figured from the weight it left the factory, subtracted from the class limit of 10K. In reality your truck has more capability than the numbers show.
Many just go by RAWR, when a FW is involved, as most all of the pin is carried by the rear axle.

From Ford, for example, you can order a F350 with a 10,000 pound limit. Same truck, just a different sticker. This is to avoid higher taxes in some states.
