Knowing the tongue weight alone would be prob 850 DRY I had him ask the salesman about the tounge weight. "Oh this wouldnt be more than 600lbs, your Expy will handle this unit easily." I stepped in and challenged his assessment. He ran into the office then came back and sheepishly said I was right.
Yes, the buyer has to do his homework, but what some salesmen will say and do just to move a unit is flat out ridiculous and wrong. Those guys need to do THEIR homework also.
