I think this is an interesting discussion.
Of note, a raptor’s Max payload is 1400 lbs which, added to its weight of 5740 is 7,140 lbs. So whatever fords engineers are doing with their, published, figures they expect that the raptor wheels are, for the lawyers, designed for 7,140 lbs, likely working load.
Since Toyota doesn’t publish its load ratings on its wheels, I can only assume that the wheels are designed for a 6,000 lb vehicle (lx570) and 1385 payload…meaning a working load around 7,385.
Rock warriors, though, weren’t specifically designed for a 200 and, in the us, weren’t installed. Rock warriors were installed on a vehicle, it appears, with a load limit of 7,100 (2010 tundra rock warrior), comparable to that of a raptor.
Using all these numbers and best guessing it, it might behoove one to use a heavier duty rim on a 200 than they would on a raptor/tundra rock warrior…but not by much I’d guess…the load limit might be so close that it might take years of abuse before failures began to happen…which would comport with the cracked rock warriors I’ve seen for sale.
