Went for a drive tonight and hit some scales. It comes in at 5368 lbs (3146 lbs RA, 2222 lbs FA), so that leaves 2482 lbs for payload. Seems about right as the LRE tires are about 15 lbs heavier a corner. This was with a full load of gas and a few odds and ends in the truck.
I think you meant the RA is 2222lbs.
Yes, it looked like "nice" tires on the truck, so makes sense and good call IMO. I didn't pick up on it initially, because different models actually come with aggressive tires right off the line, unlike I recall in the olden days.
But (not that I endorse it for others) FWIW, I've run countless new 1/2 tons in construction work, starting out with whatever the cheapest C load tires they put on that year. I've basically tried to pop them (hard to get your boss or equip dept to spring for new tires on a new truck...lol). Can't think of a half ton, save for my newest company truck (because I'm a desk jockey mostly now) that I haven't at some point put 50-60psi in the rear tires that were generally 44psi rated or similar, and used them like that repeatedly, hauling heavy payload or trailers. They've always come out unscathed.
