Repeat to the OP...decide whether you believe in the ratings/limits/specifications/etc
or not
If not, then you are here just to get assurance of what you 'want' to hear and
remind that those advisors have no skin in the game...you do, as you have now taken
the warranty (if any left) and liability off the OEM's shoulders
I've received many PMs from three different folks and one wanted to
sue the advisor on this portal
That poor fella has a light half ton and the advisor has a heavy half ton. About
2,000 lbs more than that poor fellas half ton's rear GAWR
Well, that poor guy bought the trailer the advisor said 'sure you can'...'I have
for a long time with no issues'
He burned up his F150's rear diff on their way to vacation in Florida. Stuck
in the middle of no where. Had to pay thousands (both to the shop,motel, etc)
and lost his deposits down in Florida.
They went home, as they could not afford any more expenses or risk another
burned up diff
The choice is the OP's and think they have enough 'sure you can'...of course
there will be more...is that what the OP wants to hear?
Agree with loading up as if to go camping and weighing the OPs TV, axle by axle
then do the simple math with the various 'ratings'...from GCWR to GVWR to F/R GAWR's
