Sure 10% is 10%, but he is 50% overweight. Hence the discussion is about a discrete number, 560lbs.
Regardless, 1 ton and 3/4 ton trucks are designed to haul their rated capacities day in and day out, for the life of the truck.
1/2 tons and compacts are designed to haul their rated capacities from Home Depot to home.
Load a 1 ton to its GVWR and take a look at its stance. It is barely squatting.
Load a compact truck to its GVWR, and take a look at its stance. It is sagging badly with a nose-high attitude.
What options does the OP have? He has already rejected all of the options. He is overweight by 50%. He hates how it handles. A new truck is not an option. The dealer won't take the camper back. Suspension modifications have been rejected wholesale.
I don't see where the OP posted axle/tire/wheel ratings anywhere yet?
In any case, it appears that this is someone with severe buyers remorse who has rejected every recommendation so far...
It is unlikely any of us will help resolve their issue.
