I'm running 265/75R17 BFG Rugged Trails rated at 3195lbs ea - so they should not pose an issue.
I have the same exact tires. Interesting the F150 HD payload seems like it's BUILT for the job. Perhaps I'm overthinking the weights etc. I have a good 1600 lbs. available right now. Getting rid of a couple of things might give me a bit more. Remove my G2 cover, the drop in liner and bed mat should give me about 120 lbs. more. Also considering a B&W Turnoverball (Open Range hitch allows goose neck if we go with that brand). This might save another 75 lbs. overall. Might be enough to satisfy my own personal weight police demons!
My Original question was really should I be concerned about being over GVWR by s small amount as long as I'm not over my axels. I'm aware of that dry pin weight will not be what I end up with traveling, however, I will NEVER load a trailer at this point in my life to it's GVWR. Our reality is we have 500 lbs. of stuff in the current TT when it's pulling out the driveway, there isn't anything else I will put in a new TT or 5th wheel.
Not trying to Justify my weights and the 5th wheel, we're looking at some TT's also. Just want opinions on occasionally being over GVWR.
