You say 6100 on the rear. This means you've got E rated tires at 3042 lbs at 80 psi. This is your weak spot. You might be able to find some 3400 lb capacity tires to help out. This would not change your rear axle rating or your GVWR, you would have to get a DOT inspection and recertify the truck for that. But your not a commercial vehicle either.
The rear is also sprung for 6100 lbs so you may be looking at some more upgrades.

Everyone.
I am glad to be a part of this formum. I have seen some really good questions get answered and I firmly believe this discussion. I wanted to ask a couple of questions concerning fifthwheel towing. I have a 2012 F250 Diesel short bed with 3.55 gears. I am currenly looking at purchasing a 2014 gateway (heartland) Fifthwheel. The Dry weight is 11,000 and the Gross total weight 14,000. The pin weight will be 2070 lbs. My truck is 10,000 I was wondering if I would have enough truck to pull this camper? 90% percent of the time I will be camping local within 15 minutes from my house. Maybe once a year travel outside of GA. Reading from my door are Front #5940 and rear 6100 from the sticker on my door.
