GVWR Question
The truck in my signature has a GVWR rating of 7,700 pounds. The combined axle weight at my last weigh in was 8,100 pounds. Problem? (Trailer weight was 6,340. Combined was 14,440.) Thanks. Da...

Probably not a problem as long as you are within your axle and tire ratings. Legality might be an issue. Some places, GVWR is a legal limit and others it is not. Depends on what you are comfortable with.
Yep you might check the axle ratings, you are likely exceeding one or both ratings. Newer F150 run a GVWR that is 95% or better of the total GAWR.
I run over my GVWR, but still well within GAWR and tire weight ratings. In addition I do it on full floating axles, much stronger design than the semi floating axle in your F150.
