... Let's get real people. The general max weight is 80,000 lbs. Do you really think your pickup and 5er weighs anywhere near 80,000 lbs? Just think about it. No way is anyone pulling a 5er anywhere near those max limits..
We're talking about the weight ratings for a particular pickup truck, and whether anyone's been cited for exceeding them. Has nothing to do with OTR weights. Am I missing something?
As far as the law is concerned it is only about the OTR weights. The police cannot sight me for abusing my equipment. If I'm having trouble controlling my vehicle because I've exceeded my trucks capability its "failure to control".
