Thank you very much for this! This is exactly what I was looking for. I know that this might be too much to ask, but if you have the window sticker still, that would solidify this for me. I really need to know what options you have on this truck. Being a Platinum it should have almost all of the bells and whistles. If it has all of the goodies and still has this payload, it is going to work for me. Please share if you can. Thanks!

Here ya go! Factory hitch was NOT an option on mine. Anyone know how much weight the spray-in bed liner adds?

Well, I’m certainly not qualified to give official legal advice, but will share my opinion. I believe in a “reasonable approach”. There is a lot of discussion on the forum about legal responsibility if overweight. But — I haven’t seen actual proof/direct stories about anyone being held additionally liable because they were reasonably overweight. A Tacoma hauling a 5th wheel is not reasonable. It will be obviously questoined, will draw additional scrutiny, and has real safety concerns. A modern 350/450 dually hauling a TC? Nobody will think twice, and there is no significant additional safety concern. If you saw my rig, you would never think “2,200lb overweight — criminal!”
This is of course for private truck / RV use, not commercial duty where scale weights can get you in trouble.
And, because it works for me, doesn’t make it right. The 450 is a beast, though, and won’t let you down.

I agree 100%. There is a lot of talk but no one can produce a single case where someone even got a ticket for being overweight. Yes it is possible that someone could go through the immense amount of trouble to verify you were "overweight" but in real life this is not going to happen.
And once again, if anyone can produce a non-commercial overweight ticket, or lawsuit that was brought to court, I would love to see it and research it.

Don't do obvious dumb things. But don't believe you have to have a big rig tractor to pull your pop-up either.

Yes, pretty much off-topic, but we are just being social. I am also fortunate to have a Thai spouse - now 11 years. It is a pleasure making your acquaintance also and Chok Dee to you!

My sticker is 4618 lbs and the only add'l options mine had that what was posted above is 1) Camper Package 2) Front Wheel liners and 3) Actual Gooseneck/5th Wheel Hitch Assembly (this is beyond the 5th wheel prep since it's the actual hitch) so that is likely the majority of the 100lb difference.

The caliper piston are bigger as well 2.6/2.52 (F450) vs 2.35/2.01 (F350 DRW).
I suspect that the 2.5" larger wheels on the F450 is throwing off the perspective in these pictures.

Think about this.
The difference in weight between the f350DRW and the F450 is mostly un-sprung weight. Tires, wheels and the extra weight of the wider front axle.
So the axles, springs, and frame see none of that extra weight. Its obvious there is more capacity in those items because they allow the F350 to carry more actual SPRUNG than the f450,the max weight is still 14,000lbs
As mentioned before, Most, if not all the states (USA) do not use the door sticker for legal max weight, Canada can be be different.
The best way to get actual information and not internet legends is to call your insurance agent and aske about weights, make sure you tell him/her is for privet use RVs.
Next, do a search for "max vehicle weights in (your state)" you should get to a PDF from your states DMV or DOT
All the states I have checked is;
80,000lbs max GCVW, no more than 20,000lbs on any one axle, and no more weight on an axle than the total of that axles tires weight rating as posted on its side wall.
There is naturally much more than just that, that is most of what will apply to NON commercial pickups
