I agree with NC Hauler, that I won't overload a vehicle, based on the mfg. ratings. I was told no problem putting a 2016 AF 990 on my 2005 Silverado 3500 SRW rated at 9,900 lbs. GVW. Just put a set of air bags on it. I decided to sell my loved, 44k miles, Silverado and purchased a 2015 GMC Sierra 3500HD dually with a 13,025 lbs. GVW and I am glad I did that AF 990 scaled out at 4880 lbs. with water! That is just shy of GM's recommended slide-in truck camper rating of 4913 lbs.. I did add Timbrens just to firm up the ride and reduce sway.
You're comparing a less capable truck to a more capable truck.
We were comparing two identical trucks with a different sticker on the B pillar.
And I got off topic...GeoBoy is just stating he uses trucks recommended GVWR and GCWR weight ratings as I do.
I went back and stated the obvious..If an F350 SRW and an F250 have same weight ratings, it makes no difference TO "me", unless GVWR placard states the 250 has less payload than the 350... As I stated, I go by door placard no matter what, I'm stupid that way:)
