What are your camper specs, and your payload rating on your tire loading sticker on the truck?

TURBS.

I have no problem at all pulling my trailer. I am under front and rear axle ratings and GVR for the TV, and overhaul rating for the combined truck and trailer. I just wondered why they would not change the axle ratings on the door tag to reflect the actual GVWR for the TV

You are right about my original post I was only concerned about the GVWR
based on the posted AWR's. As I said above why not just change the weights listed to reflect the actual GVWR for the TV??

The only thing I can think of is that the rear axle must be the same as the F350 and is limited by the tire weight rating for the 17 inch of 3200lbs.It is all very confusing.I guess the only way they could fix it would be to design a rear and front axle, frame etc for the F250.I am sure the same problem occurs between the 350 and the 450
