It's alright Wilber, it's justified because it's F250/2500's were talking about. GVWR means nothing.
If it was F150/1500's, we'd get the "You're Going to Kill Your Wife and Kids" message for towing over your GVWR.
Yep, because the only real difference between 99% of 250/2500's and their 350/3500 SRW siblings is a badge, a Class2 Max of 10,000# GVWR, and maybe springs. Same Frame, same axles, same transmissions, and same brakes.
150/1500 is just a truck body on a light weight running gear. There are exceptions, but for the most part the running gear is much lighter weight.
I can see me point was lost on you.
Not lost at all Apples and Oranges!
The 150/1500's GVWR in many cases is so close to the combined GAWR's that some can be OVER rear GAWR and still under GVWR.
250/2500's and 350/3500 SRW are essentially the same, with the exception of the Class 2 restricted 10,000# max, and the bare bones ones may be running a OEM tire with a lower capacity.
