This is the way threads go anytime a ford vs dodge or any other manufacturer is compared.Most people are bias at what they have.Only natural.Assumptions are made and everyone is an expert on weight.Funny reading though.
Hadn't really paid any attention to it being Ford versus Dodge comparision, but we seemed to have gotten away from OP....Again, I've addressed weights and weights only...no expert by no means..., but I can do simple math and I do try to purchase a Tow vehicle for the job and I do look at recommended weights put out by the truck manufacturer, be it Ford, GM, Ram, Nissan, Toyota, or whomever. Never really looked at it as "funny reading", but to each his own. I've seen a few "assumptions", but again, if you know GVWR, GCWR, RAWR, FAWR of your TV, loaded and unloaded, and GVW and pin weight of your 5er, then there really isn't much to "assume"...now it's simple math (some addition, some subtracting), and then possibly "assuming" just how much one can go over one or all those ratings without possibly prematurely wearing out something...
