Ops forgot a couple things...
That TREAD Act label's 1,561 lb max cargo/payload is misleading, as it is based
or derived from the 'curb' weight. Unless you own a stripper model, that max
cargo/payload does NOT apply to you.
Why recommend going out and actually weighing your rig ready to go camping (fully
loaded with cargo and people)
Also, decide if you believe in the ratings system or not
If not, then do whatever
If yes, then learn how that system works and gather the proper information
Good luck!
