TM has used the 3500# axle since well before 2000. Before 2010 they used 14" wheels/tires that had a 5 bolt pattern. The 2010 models all up sized to 15" wheels/tires with 6 bolts. The axle rating is still 3,500# but placarded at 3,640#. They did this calculation by adding the weight of the wheels, hubs and tires to 3,500# (70# per wheel/tire/hub x 2 + 3,500 = 3,640#) since the axle does not carry these rolling items (it is carried by them).
So far, I do not believe TM is using a 5K axle.
