Oh it was indeed a "baited" question (as you of course where well aware of but took the bait anyways). It's interesting that you (from information that you "gleaned") think your years of gleaned information trumps the years of experience of all of the truck manufacturer's engineers. My, that's a pretty big shoulders. The fact of the matter is, there is a magical number(s). The ones the manufacturer's designed and tested for. You can find them in the Owner's manual and they are not pie in the sky made up from one man's "gleaned information". And yes, I am stupider then the collective knowledge of engineers that designed the truck. That's why I don't try to "infer" that just because I tow with an F250, everyone that tows with an F150 is putting their wife and kids in harms way.
Now you can remain silent (save face)under the guise that I am disingenuous.
I'm not the one that lost face since I was sincere and not being disingenuous and two faced. Your admitted "MAGICAL NUMBERS" are just that magical since almost all TV have specified frontal area limits that exceed that normally found in full profile TTs and the numbers in owner's manuals don't account for that very important variance. Also, speed is a hugh factor which again the owner's manuals don't adjust those magical numbers for that.
Lastly, you failed to appreciate that in my original post I specifically called my assertions as being anecdotal and from reading the many reports by those with the specific experiences with both vehicles and the same applies to my last post and unlike you have admitted there is some wiggle room in what I have given, but you want to say there are some magical concrete numbers which if one believes that then again you are in the "they don't know what they don't know" and you and I have nothing further to discuss since I will not discuss something with someone who has admitted to not be willing to participate in an honest discourse, but is one out to play some sort of childish games.
I'm thru discussing any of this further with someone with your stated intentions since those are clearly IMO a DISSERVICE to the membership in general here which I think is shameful to say the least.
