FOrds got some serious weight capacity compared to GM. 350=13000 3500=11400
If you want to see some overloaded stuff, visit the truck camper forums (i.e. my avitar). There is a new guy posting about his 3/4 dodge single wheel tipping the scale at 12,000 without out food, cloth, and a 20 foot boat at the end of a 3 foot hitch extension (400 - 600 tongue?). He bought too much camper for the truck which is rated at 9,000 even. I run about 1,000 over my 11,500 rating with my camper and it does very well. These trucks are sweet. I personally think GM under rates them and ford pushes the limits.
