Whatever we can talk about, it is just theoretical dispute as we can't cover all the variables.
For example -comparing to above numbers my DRW F350 weight 9500lb and I think I have about 4500 on rear axle empty.
Than my truck is extended wheel base with beefed up suspension. (fuel tank behind rear axle)
Same with my camper where black and grey water tank are under rear bumper.
They are about 6 feet behind rear axle.
You care to calculate what 500 lb of waste water 6' behind rear axle can do to overload?
Bottom line, don't draw any conclusions before going to the scales.
