I will add, that this is due to "bridge" weights. The idea being that a 60" axle spacing (or "spread") will carry 10'000lbs on a larger footprint and do less harm to the road than 10'000lbs on a 50" spread.

Default Finally Upgraded!

Sold the F150, owned it for two yrs. and got what I paid for it. Loved the truck but a little light on payload capacity, once loaded with all the camping gear, scaled too much over payload and always had the tail wagging the dog feel while towing.

Picked up a used 2013 F250 with 26k miles, Lariat with the 6.7l and 4wd for $48k, included air bags, bed cover, and 5th wheel hitch.

Not a camper but a boat. With the family and gear about 7500 pounds or so. Towed 1500 miles round trip.
