Weighing TV
Read lots of post's saying to do this to find what your payload is (correct?) Or to see what weight is on axle compared to what axle will handle. So my question is for the ones who have were your numb...

...The biggest joke of the tire placard payload system is a F150HD with a 8200 or 7750 GVWR and 4800 RAWR. Ford advertises this truck can have up to a 3000+ lbs payload.
These trucks may weigh in the 2400 lb range on the rear axle. Now add the 3000 lb payload sticker number in the bed = 5400 lbs on the 4800 RAWR. Another seriously overloaded vehicle as the F150 rear suspension and Fords OEM wheels aren't rated that high...
Now where did I say the F150 comes from the factory with a advertised 2400 lb number. The 2400 lbs number I used above (quote)"These trucks may weigh in the 2400 lb range on the rear axle" came from a F150HD owner who said his rear axle weighed just over 2400 lbs and adding his trucks 3000+ lb payload in the bed over loaded his trucks 4800 RAWR.
However even Fords body service spec webhttps://www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas/non-html/2016/2016F150_Technical%20Specs_SB.pdf show a '16 F150HD 7850 GVWR 4800 RAWR with a 1883 lb rear axle weight has a 3240 lb payload.
Simple math shows 1883 rear axle weight with 3240 lb payload sticker number in the bed = 5123 lb on the rear axle.
Remember the payload number on the tire placard is a GVWR based payload.
