Your thoughts/input (even if via PM) are welcome.
These are really great, nice work! I like the individual trailer axle & tire load calculations, these are very useful. Great for determining if your tires are overloaded or incorrect class used. Only thing missing for me is the TV axle ratings. A big issue with the 1/2 ton pickups is rear axle payload (lack thereof). So it's really easy to go over the RGAWR and I don't see where these tools help point that out to the user.
You're right there. It is that fine balance between capturing and comparing *every* spec and having a tool that is too confusing for newbies or having to be selective to not scare of the newbies at the cost of excluding some ratings.
IMO, a 1/2-ton is going to exceed GVWR first.
