Wait, who are you and what have you done with Grit dog?
You're usually on the front lines of, "People who pay attention to ratings are namby-pamby, panty-waisted, pansy hippies that should not be allowed to own a truck."
I’ve never said that….lol!
And I generally don’t yell at the person asking the question. It’s the (you mentioned above) folks who tell the person asking the question that they can’t haul more than a load of mulch in a 1 ton truck!
Hahaha
Guy could be and sounds like he’s moving to MT every time he loads up. But he’s still good for 6k in the bed.

I paraphrased. My wording more accurately describes the sentiment while your actual wording may have been slightly more... diplomatic.

I am operating a 2016 F350 Dually 4x4. The as built weight capacity rating is 7450. The Eagle Cap 1165 I have is showing an as built dry weight of 4800.
Loaded with a half tank of water I weighed 60 pounds under GVWR.
The upgrades include Air Lift 7500 airbags, Stable Loads, Rancho 9000.
These upgrades don’t change the load capacity for legal purposes, but do offer a more stable/ comfortable ride.
I pull a boat routinely and will flat pull a small SUV when that time comes.
The giant worry to be considered is liability if you cause a catastrophic accident.
Otherwise I am very comfortable with my setup.
Respectfully,
