hauling capability
I have a 2015 F350 6.2 srw crew cab. I am thinking of truck slide in camper for long trips. How do I determine my truck's hauling capability?

2015 Fleet Ford spec show a F350 srw crew cab 6.2 engine can have over a dozen gvwrs ranging from 10000 up to 11300 lbs every 200 lb increments or so.
Also shows a 6290 or 6730 or 7000 rawr ...all above depends on 156" or 172" wheel base and 2wd vs 4wd and 17" vs 18"/20" wheels.
Every trucker should know his trucks front and rear scaled unladin axle weights. Drop by a set of CAT scale and find your trucks axle weights with attention to the rear axle as its going to carry most if not all of a truck camper weight.
Simply subtract your trucks rawr from scaled rear axle weight = the truck actual payload.
Also works the same for the front axle . Gotta' know your vehicles loaded axle weights. You sure don't want to exceed a tire/wheel or spring pack ratings.
