I'm trying to figure out my GAWR for my 86 F150 heavy half ton.
The plan is to buy a camp trailer and I am a rule follower ;-)
I know from the VIN the GVWR is 7,001 but I don't know the axle ratings.
Going to look at the rear end tag and axle stampings this weekend and will post those when I have em.
I wonder what normal people do with their free time?

How many members of FTE are normal? 
For an example, ctubutis (Chris aka Mr. Clean/Mr. Fixit), the moderator of this forum, is wearing a bra in his avatar pic!

I never considered the bra a big deal (it's from birthday-party games in Russia) but I sometimes hear about it out here on FTE (which is, quite honestly, the only place I have that picture online anymore).

You will never overload any type of axle with a trailer. You will never have that much tongue weight. Someone on here the other day had a chart(I think it was Gary, so check his website) that had the tow ratings, which depends on the engine/transmission and axle ratio more than anything else.
