The wife just bought a '16 1500 4x4 It has a 7100 GVWR but its weak spot for carrying payloads is the small 4000 RAWR which includes rear axle/rear suspension/wheels and P tires.

You didn't say what your GVWR/FAWR/RAWR is. GM does have a NHT package with around 7600 GVWR and a 4600 RAWR.
This package would be good for around 2000-2200 lb payload.
We have 1/2 ton truck out here with 8200-8600 GVWR and full floater 6000 RAWR E tires and wheels with 3k+ lb payloads. These trucks were popular in the '00-'08 era.
My truck is a 4x4 crew cab with 6.5 ft bed. I want to say my tires are T (sticker on door jam with payload cap) but I don't know the gross veh, front or rear axle wt ratings (I know, complete newbie).
