According to gmw photos, "There is likely some truth in what you say."
Thanks. There may be some truth in what you wrote also.
Obviously there are several different numbers to look at, payload for instance. It would take a pretty dumb person to put even 500 pounds of tongue weight on a pickup already over its payload limit with a bed full of firewood. The hitch has its own ratings. The rear axle. The tires. The WD bars. The list goes on and on. I was not quoting from the Nissan manual when I said that GM has changed their requirements for weight distributing hitches. For all I know, a Nissan may be a lot like Gramp's old Buick.
