It just amazes me to hear all the people worrying over some one else's rig that that they think might be over weight.

No one ever looks at the door sticker to see if the truck is rated to haul that much, they just check to see if the truck/trailer is registered/permitted to haul the weight. The most important part is do u have the brakes to stop the load and the tires to haul the load. These new pickups have the capability to haul much more than they are rated for. Ask any hotshotter. All the "experts" on here that want to flame someone would be better off tending to their own business.
I have been trying to tell the RV.net weight police for years, if they want to know what a pickup can haul, go to a truck stop and talk to a hotshotter! Pickups never come close to the federal bridge weight laws.
