Could not agree more.

There are a lot of RV folks that buy the "Gucci" wheels for their TV without any regard for the weight capacity of the wheels. This is especially true for us dually folks. There are lots examples out there where aftermarket wheels failed due to the inability to support the weight being placed on them.

Buyer beware.

To encourage the OP, been there done that. You're in good company. You're not the first and unfortunately won't be the last. In 2017 took a bath on my 2014 F250, upgrading to a 2017 F350 DRW, but haven't looked back. It was the right thing to do, both legally and family safty. The peace of mind will greatly enhance your further adventures.

I can't say I did the exact same thing but, close. I had a 1997 F350 SWR 7.3 PSD which can handle anything because it's an F350 right? Wrong! The GVW on that truck was 9900 and I never thought about the weights but about 4 months into our first 5er I scaled it and I was sick!! We were 1000lbs over GVWR, 500 over FAWR and I don't remember where I was on the rear but, seems like some where around 900 pounds. It took me about a year to to fund what I could afford and would do the job, the problem is that ended me up in 6.0 territory. I finally bought a 2006 F350 SRW 6.0 PSD with a GVWR of 11500. Anyway, good looking set up! I had never considered Brown for a TV nut, yours is almost the same color as mine.
