Additionally it's not about pulling, it's about stopping.
Every truck is tested according to NHTSA standards and is fully capable of stopping 100% of its GVWR regardless of the badge on the side.
Stopping is one thing. Keeping GVWR under control over a long, steep grade and then stopping is quite another.
I agree with both statements. But, it isn't stickers that will make a driver comfortable behind the wheel.
The freeways are fluid and situations change quickly. Steep grades, inattentive drivers, spare tires loose and coming at you will test your setup very quickly.
Buy the most truck you can afford and want to drive. You won't be mad at yourself for having something too big.
