This forum has a better understanding now, than when I became a member. The weight police were not to be disputed!! The sticker police were, and still are very active, but are at least now better informed, as to how these stickers are figured, and how it pertains to actual capability. So many were told they were unsafe, especially concerning the 3/4 tons, with their class 2 restricting GVWR, when in fact, they were the exact same truck, as the class 3 they were told was needed. Yes, a few actually traded, paid the high price, not knowing they just bought higher rated stickers.
In any case, common sense, using good judgement, when towing heavy, can keep most of us safe! Just having a huge truck, medium size trailer, does not make it safe, if over driving the conditions, in traffic, bad weather, mountains, etc.
I have noticed some of our most infamous WP have left the building, been gone for a while. I wish them well, hope they just moved on, but still in good health! :)
