While I'm under the front and rear GAWR of my truck, I'm slightly over the GVWR.
How about you?

It's a dream to drive and runs hard- should I admit I passed a bunch of trucks going up a hill at 90 mph and she was pulling hard to 100...:)
When someone says they have a fast car, I can only guess how quick it is when climbing a 6% grade. My car will do 110 at 5,500 RPM in 5th gear on a 6% grade.

I havn't been everywhere, but it's on my list.

I tend to take my jacks off though, as well as travel really really light. No water in the camper, full tank of gas and propane is all the fluids I care. When pulling my boat everything goes in the boat so the truck is still under axle ratings, and the boat is very light itself.

My camper is about 500 over the camper weight specified in the glovebox for a camper, but the GVWR supposedly includes 4 people and the tailgate. It's been a few years since I weighed, so I don't remember the actual numbers.
Based on signatures, many people in this thread are talking about something other than a TC.
'10 Ford F-450, 6.4, 4.30, 4x4, 14,500 GVWR, '06 Host Rainer 950 DS, Torklift Talon tiedowns, Glow Steps, and Fastguns. Bilstein 4600s, Firestone Bags, Toyo M655 Gs, Curt front hitch, Energy Suspension bump stops.

Right there with you. Also under the wheel and tire ratings by a lot.
