So you believe that if Peterbilt rated new 389s for a 2000 payload just to make it fit a certain category, it would be less capable than an F350 and irresponsible to try to carry a camper on it.
Yes that’s exaggerating what was said but it follows the same logic, or lack of it.
The only reason it’s ever more responsible to run a lighter duty than a heavier duty truck is to comply with a poorly-written law your state may have that forces you to do so.
You are certainly not being safer or more responsible.
That’s not to say a 350 isn’t up to the task. It’s just that the numbers on the 450 aren’t real and it sounds as if you actually believe they are.
