So we were at an RV show and I was poking around a bit and started to look at the weight stickers. found some "1/2 ton towable" TT`s with dry weights starting at 8k lbs, one was 8700lbs!!! now, I`m no...

What makes you think your not a member of the weight police?
So you load the trailer and it comes in at 10,200. That's 1225 lbs. of tongue weight. I've seen plenty of 1/2 tons that will handle over 1500 lbs. of payload.
Ok, how much does mom, dad, 2 or 3 kids and a large dog weigh? I'm guessing well over 275lbs!
Now that I think of it maybe I am a member of the weight police. Just not as vocal as some!
Either way, the majority of 1/2tons on the road will not be able to tow one of those I mentioned with the family on board!
I agree with you.
Perhaps the dealers are assuming that you have a "self-driving" Tow Vehicle, so they don't count the weight of the driver (or passengers, for that matter). It must be a self-camper then too. It drives itself to the campground, pops out the awning and chairs, lights up the propane campfire, and then 3 days later it pops them back in and drives back home by itself. :)
