Well, that's interesting. We just got the registration notice and we do pay a weight penalty of 204.00.

My old Tundra had a GVWR of 7200 lbs I think. Maryland has a weight class of 7000 lbs (which means I would "lose" 200 lbs payload) or a weight class of 10000 lbs (which means I would "gain" 2800 lbs payload). I chose to register my Tundra for 10,000 lbs, which meant that LEGALLY I could carry a lot more weight going down the road. SAFELY is another issue, but LEGALLY I would be 100% able to.
Your F350 can SAFELY carry a GVWR of at least 11,500, provided your axle, wheel and tire ratings are up to the task. But if its only registered for 10,000 then you can't LEGALLY exceed that. Pay a little more for the higher weight rating and you are LEGALLY and SAFELY able to exceed that GVWR sticker.
