Is being a little over GVWR no worse than doing 60 in a 55?

We're struggling between a Lance1985 and a 2285 and to add to that struggle are concerned about our RAM1500 tow capabilities. Many, maybe a majority, are pulling 1985s and 2285s size TTs, 4500 to 500...

Great quote BenK,

I am not nearly as worried about the person who knows how to load a truck and trailer, stays under the tire capacity and operates sensibly. They may wear components out faster but I'm not worried about safety.

The clueless Newb who has never towed a traile. Those people scare me. I don't care what they are driving.

Just because you are under ratings doesn't mean you are safe.

Thanks!

Jeremiah


Well put!
