1/2 ton truck towing question
I am looking for a toy hauler to put a golf cart in. I’ve seen a few but they will be about 10,000 pounds after everything is loaded. Current tow capacity on the truck is 9300lbs. With GVWR @ 7,000lbs...

Worst case scenario. You have an accident while towing. You insurance company voids your policy because you knowingly modified the vehicle to EXCEED its capacity !!
You know Folks have been posting this particular nugget of **** since I have been a member. 15 years at least.
The poster has been corrected every time,yet this nonsense lives on.
And you very definitely can increase your trucks capabilities with the addition of springs,
air bags,sway bars even stronger tires. You can even increase it's ratings if an approved aftermarket outfitter, certifies the components and work.
If you do your own work the trucks capabilities are increased but the rating stays the same.
