Yeah..some years back one poor guy over on IRV2 website posted about his new 2015 F350 srw had a low payload sticker 2100-2200 lbs. He later posted the truck had a 10000 gvwr.
The forum weight cops convinced him he should have bought the same model truck with the 11500 gvwr.
Later he posted back the swap cost him several thousand bucks....just for a 11500 gvwr sticker...and for the same exact truck.
Just one reason dot doesn't use a LDT vehicles gvwr nor is it used in a civil lawsuit case on the commercial side.
With 17 different gvwrs for the F350srw does anyone actually believe rv website myth that a civil lawsuit would ever happen for exceeding a LDT mfg gvwr.
It doesn't happen on the commercial side so why would it happen on just the rv side.

Spoon,
I have no issues knowing a TV towing an RV has a greater than 99% chance of ever getting pulled over for wieght, stopping issues etc.
As a commercial user og DOT class 2-6 driver owner of this size rig towing etc, for 40 yrs, I'm not worried about wieght issues generally speaking As I noted, at least here in Wa St, its a non-moving violation.
I'm more worried about getting inspections for brake issues, stopping break away battery at less than 11.5v, debris falling out or off of the truck trailer etc. These being moving violation issues. those hurt me more in the long run.
I've been pulled over at 150% ov my door sticker gvw, about 1000 lbs over my paid for registration. ALL i got was an up the registration by 2000 to next highr load class. $18 or there about cost per ton here.
EVERY LDT I've owned here has had to have a paid for registration higher that the door sticker gvw based on how we have to buy tonnage. ie tare times 1.5 to next highest ton. My 1500 is 5200 x 1.5 = 7800 to 8000. My 7200 door sticker means squat!

It's all in the tire option for the F350.
Simple enough to get the correct configuration.
However some of the veterans around here tend to blur the lines by saying the F250 and F350 are the same or they have the same axle, which maybe true.
However if the difference is in the wheels and or tires than one needs to be sure they have the correct wheels and or tires.
One needs to pay attention to all the ratings not just the advertised ratings and not just the ratings they happen to be in compliance with!

Nope, it’s guys like you and spud who make it blurry.
Like him quoting the tire thing.
That’s not a thing, until Ford quits putting the same tire options on both models. Or people quit being gullible enough to buy something with lighter duty tires and then believe it’s all they can carry. Which btw, what spud quoted is wrong, although you’d have to understand tire to understand what ls wrong with his statement.
It’s actually completely laughable that so many of the opinionated don’t make any effort to be well read before opening their virtual mouths (keyboards). Lol.

rhagfo,
wherevand when was i discussing manufactures warranty rate ratings? Legally what the person in that link was doing is not an issue. Warranty as he found out, he's having a problem, as he should.

Exactly.
Until the libs continue to get their way and the mfgs know “everything” that happens with their vehicles at the push of a button, one can still feign ignorance if they have a little issue that “might” be related to something beyond the published ratings.
However if you literally break your truck in half being GROSSLY overloaded, no one to cry to but yourself.
And also a poor cherry picked example to prove a point as a self appointed weight cop.
Which the person who posted it has turned into since he went from a 2nd gen srw to a 4th gen dually a couple years ago…

But many thanks to Jnjnkatiebug for stirring the pot!
I’m sure she didn’t mean to, but shows she has more common sense than many of the mouths who are “experts” in their own minds on this forum.

I will correct my F350 GAWR with my 275/65 tires.
It’s 6780lbs. My bad. In my case the tires dictate my GAWR. My GVWR is still 11,500 regardless of the tires.
I’ll refrain from responding to the insults. Hope your wife is feeling better.
