You need to look again. Those are 2014 specifications. I don't believe your coach is a 2014? The specifications change all the time. I believe that you stated that you had 19.5 tires? That in itself limits capacity. You will note that on the 22,000 GVWR rated chassis for 2014, the standard tire size is a 22.5" tire. ALL of the pieces come together to develop a specification. Also, please look at the specifications at the link again, and you will see that your statement of "and the towing capacity is set by Fleetwood not Ford because Ford has no idea the weight of the RV box..." is completely incorrect. Also, where is the specification stated for maximum combined capacity off your Federal label?
Just trying to educate you on how ratings are set and NOTHING you do can increase GVWR. Sorry... those are just the facts.
Safe travels.
That 36000 psi is for my year, Ford did this starting in 2006 and after that, you have shown you just don't know, and 19.5 tires are not under rated for my RV, its curb weight is only 17,500 lbs as to FACTORY FLEETWOOD, and all 6 tires max weight load adds up to 27000 lbs, so show me where I am over 27000 lbs in my pics..

Just for info, you can't prove him wrong, at least not in his mind. And if you do prove him wrong, he'll just claim he was right all along and he'll start sending you private messages. We did this on the Arizona fuel issue when he kept repeating over and over and over that the fuel tax clearly applied to motorhomes and everybody who thought different was going to go to prison. When we finally cleared it up and learned it didn't apply to motorhomes, he tried to claim he was right all along. It's just what he does.
You stated "When we finally cleared it up and learned it didn't apply to motorhomes, he tried to claim he was right all along."
First, I don't know what this "we" stuff is, but you must be referring to the letter I obtained from senior ADOT staff that was posted here, where they stated that they "agree that pump labels do not address motorhomes and they will be working to address this as quickly as they can." Also, in the same communication they state that "they will be working with Arizona State Legislators to revise ARS statutes to include motorhomes in the light class definitions" as they do appear there currently. That letter?
No I'm referring to the one where over and over and over and over and over you kept claiming motorhomes were not exempt and had to pay the tax and you insulted anybody who said anything different. And then in the end you were proven wrong and then you tried to twist it to make it look like you were right all along. Just like you're doing on this thread. That's the one I'm talking about.
That actually is the same post/thread. As I had tried to explain to you and others then, that is exactly what I had been told by ADOT a number few years before. They were the one to point to their Statute and consumer warning labels that clearly did not include motorhomes in their list of vehicles and stated that they were not included in any other exempt list, which they were not. After the lengthy debate on the subject, I decided to go back to them and settle this requesting that ADOT place their position in writing, which they have now done (posted letter). And by the way, their position had nothing to do with your convoluted interpretation of various statutes. It all came down one Motor Vehicle Division Policy letter (13.2.3) where they decided to exempt motorhomes from weight fees.
Happy to have been of service.
Safe travels.
