A look at carrying capacities
Interesting article on real world carrying capacities of 1/2 trucks: Pickup Truck Mag Isn't 10% a little low for the tongues weight?

Anybody who is just now realizing that half tons can't tow anywhere near their advertised "max towing weight" in the real world hasn't been paying attention.
As far as the article goes, I'd be curious about where they got their max tow number from. It just says they were told it was around X lbs. Maybe Rebels aren't rated to tow as much as somebody assumed? I know the Powerwagon is downrated quite a bit compared to a regular Ram, so it seems logical that a Rebel might be as well.
