What limits the payload of a half ton truck? Is it the springs, tires axel or frame?
My truck is an aluminum f150 with the v8 and 4wd. It came with squishy springs and car tires. The sticker on the door says my payload is 1975 pounds with passenger tires. It is rated to tow 9100 pounds.
Is there anything I can do to the truck to carry more weight other than installing an add a leaf or e rated tires and better shocks? (I have already done this)
I want to carry 1000 pounds of camper and pull 5000 pounds of boat.
A diesel 4 door f250 is really expensive and will not fit in the parking deck at work or in my garage.
