Default Load rating for tires

What load rating are tires typically found on 3/4 ton trucks? My F150 has LT275/70/17 114/110R's on it. The tire service rating by definition from tirerack.com is the "110R" part of the sequence of numbers. The "110" is the load rating and the "R" is the speed rating. A load rating of "110" means one tire's max weight capacity is 2337 lbs.

Im asking because my brother in law and i were talking and he needs new tires for his truck. I told him to get some like mine and he said that he would have to have much heavier duty tires for his truck because it is a Dodge 2500. What load rating tires usually come on a 3/4 ton truck?

Got my answer already. I found out that 110 load rated tires are just fine for a 3/4 ton truck. I know you can get LT tires with a higher load rating than 110 but, 110 is enough.
