A couple of points.
Yes the 80% rule is a made upe rule.... BUT, it is a good one for it's intended purpose.
For the person that is new to trailering, or can't, or doesn't want to be bothered with all of the specifics.... Following this simple 80% rule will generally keep them out of trouble.
That is a good thing.
2500/250 badging. I do not see this going away.
Many HOAs will not allow people to have 1 ton trucks. So a 3/4 ton with 1 ton capabilities will fill this need.
I have a friend that ended up in a HOA. His F350 then became a problem. Changing the badges from F350 to F250 solved it.
Ford offers a no charge 10,000 lb gvwr option on their f350 srw trucks that consists of a different door sticker. I do not see the point of buying or manufacturing HD 3/4 ton diesel trucks but the one ton srw should be badged f250/2500
