The smallest one is 2200lbs DRY... advertised to be specifically for the F150...
Yeah, a lot of the aluminum bodied F150's have payloads of around that, but then add a passenger and a full tank of fresh water...
What's the world coming to when the manufacturer openly encourages overloading their trucks by selling accessories for their trucks that are too heavy for the trucks to haul and stay in the factory ratings?
It's probably going to be a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" deal, same as any other towing or hauling issue. When pressed, the official answer will probably be that you can't actually put anything in the camper or bring passengers along.
