I realize that factory weight ratings are conservative. Many of us have exceeded them. I do wonder at the wisdom of a moderator dismissing them out of hand for the benefit of new users who may not be "Experts".

If it was just axle ratings that matter, they could sling bigger and bigger rear axles under a F-150 to get any rating they wanted up to F-450 range. There is a lot more to a pickup than just the axles. Believe it or not.
