Question about weight ratings
Still trying to figure out payload and towing capacity for my truck. (2016 F-250 Diesel). I plan on going to a scale and getting an exact weight of my truck. However, I am not sure what to subtract...

For s slightly different perspective, think of weight ratings in comparison to the highway signs that show a curve coming up, and tell you the speed you should be at to safely make the curve (on dry roads).
It is not a firm speed limit, it is a recommendation.
weight ratings are just that; ratings, not a firm limit.
In fact, my old 1994 Dodge Ram CTD one ton dually was registered for a GVW of 14,000 lbs. Legally, that was the only important number. I chose it because I knew I could never exceed it. AFAIK, I never did, even when hauling hay.
