Whatever his weight is he must be legal or he would never get through a Port. There is a motivation to tow/haul as much as you can with the lightest vehicle possible. The more your dry weight the less paid cargo you can carry. Going to a heavier tow vehicle may not make sense even though it might be more durable. His additional payload must pay better than the additional repairs on the Ford. Its all about payload.
If he's tagged for it & under all his tire ratings, he's legal. It's that simple. Door sticker GVWR and Ford's GCWR mean NOTHING, legally.
I agree.
It would be interesting to see what he will do differently when he replaces his current rig.
I agree that a 550 would make more sense assuming price is close, and only slightly heavier I would imagine,
