Sorry, are you being facetious or are you serious in saying that this, in your opinion, would be an ok set up provided i'm not over my RAWR
Serious. The trucks GVWR simply isn't used any where in the world of trucking to determine how much load a truck can carry period.
I was going to X2 on deshellys comment about GVWR but forgot to add it in my reply above.
Keep in mind the truck maker may choose any GVWR he wants up to and including the sum of the axle ratings.
The F150 comes in 17 different GVWR's from 6500 up to 8200 many with the same chassis.
Another GVWR joke if you will, is Ford gives us a F350 SRW 6.7 diesel 4x4 crew cab 172" wb with a 11200 GVWR or a 10000 GVWR. Both trucks are identical. One poor guy bought the 10000 GVWR version of this truck and asked how much can I tow on anther RV forum that was over moderated by weight police types. They convinced him to swap for the 11200 GVWR version with a big loss of cash out of his pocket.
Watch those RAWR numbers as that include tires/wheels/springs and more importantly brakes. I would also stay within Ford tow rating for your truck.
