Yep, it's the manufacturers fault. They are so stupid that they have no clue about what they designed and built. Only the "experts" on RV.net who know absolutely nothing about designing and building vehicles words are bible. The manufacturers cannot be trusted, they lie in their printed info when they rate their vehicles as to how much their vehicles can tow. Every new truck owner should throw away the manual first thing and then log onto RV.net for their factual information. Check, got that.
You misunderstood. Why don't you go down to your local friendly Chevrolet, Ford, etc., dealer and open the driver's door and see the "PAYLOAD" listed under the tire sizes on the yellow and white sticker. Then figure out how a half-ton truck can tow a nearly 10,000 pound trailer (that's what most are rated for) and carry a family of three or four, with ice chests, easy ups, bikes, firewood, etc., then come back on here and report how they will stay within the payload amount you observed.
I am waiting.....
