If you put oversize tires on the factory rims, you can raise the carrying capacity, but will change the speedometer reading. When I went from 265's to 285's the speedo reads 4 mph off. I am going faster than the speedo says.
The actual mileage has not changed much, but is hard to calculate unless I use my gps and run it all the time for a tank of fuel.
I have a diesel, so the capacity is not an issue as far as carrying the camper and going down the road.
