^ Youre still not getting it.
A rear gawr of 7200lbs is limited by tires and/or gvw rating, subtracting a theoretical minimum on the front axle from the class 3 srw gvw mandated Max rating.
The axle and the rest of the truck with the right springs and tires/wheels will handle around 10klbs on the rear axle. (not in factory form, but without major modifications)
Buzzcut1, I believe Ford actually has 3 different rear ends under the 250, 350 and dually now, but nonetheless both the srw models still have 10,000lb axles, so you’re correct.
Now I still would not prefer 3tons plus on a srw.....if it really weighs that much.
