I searched for the max load limit for my 1/2 ton rear axle and with heavy rated tires and rims 3200lb each I am going to hover around that limit 4800lb.

Thanks everyone. I understand weights and load limits, I am a trucker and I deal with that stuff everyday, but yet I see Ford Rangers and Toyota Tacomas with campers on them. I am looking for the most basic camper, a stove, small fridge, and a bed are really I need. I don't even want one with a bathroom. I also understand tires and their limits, I worked for Goodyear for several years. It seems like if I follow GMC's load limits, I would be overloaded just making a Costco run. Why do they classify it as a 1/2 ton truck if they want you to haul a little over 1/4 ton? lol.

Listening to the horror stories is always amusing, like the puddle of ATF under a 1500 truck.
The last large puddle of ATF I had under a truck was under a F350 DRW .....proving noting.
