Not too bad specs for a "half ton"..
This is the door jamb stickers for the new F150... My Dad's 1971 F250 only has a GVWR of #6900! How's that for changing times! :) Mitch

Actually, having the axel ratings being within 98% is getting closer to perfection. GVWR IMHO "SHOULD BE" 100% of the axel ratings. It is up to the end user to know how to balance the rig out for max payload etc. My MDT is rated that way! Then again, the OP will probably have an 8K license, he will be legal to 8K. UNLESS, 1.5 times his tare is over 8K lbs, then he will have a 10K plate, and be legal to 10k too.......
anyway, enough my my supposed legal begal nonsensacle talk. Enjoy the new twuck Mitch!

Just got my new registration today and yes, I'm tagged for #8000. Scale weight is listed as #5416.
I've got over 500 miles on it now! Should have no problem with the break in miles by May.. It's just going to be hard waiting that long before I can tow with it!
