The F250 is in a vehicle class limiting it to 10k lbs GVWR. Even if it was identical hardware to a F550, the regulatory class would limit its payload so the GVWR is not exceeded.
I'm not sure what regulatory requirements you are referring to, but my F250 CC is registered for 12k lbs in my state.
That's the only thing the cops care about.
It barely squats carrying 3k (listed payload 3100 lbs), and I'm sure it could carry more up to the tire/wheel limit.
There are some warranty and performance regs that the.feds.require when coming out the factory.door. BUT as you note, registration wise, all you have to from a SP standpoint, is under 500 lbs per inch.width.of tire, and as noted, paid for registration from a weight standpoint. As that is the max point load the road bed is esigned to.handle.
My 2500 is.goog to 8000 lb, as is my two sons Toyota Tacoma, and Chevy 1500. I can not legally go to door sticker amount.
