I've read some of Andys other opinions about vehicle weights and sizes.
This article I see he has finally grasped the fact that one can't always (in some cases) use the infamous gvwr number without exceeding the trucks rawr.
Body lean in the two pictures isn't apples vs apples such as 2wd vs 4wd height or a different camera angle showing body lean at a different apex of steering input.
One big fib was 1/2 tons have nearly the same brakes as a 3/4 ton. Brakes are a axle rating function at a minimum... example;
A F250 Ford with a 6k fawr and a 6340 rawr = 12340 lbs of braking performance
A F150HD Ford has the heaviest specs with a 3750 fawr and 4800 rawr = 8550 lbs of braking performance.
Lots this guy simply doesn't know but he has a opinion like we all do.
