At the end of the day, I fail to see how any of this actually affects the trucks that you and I drive? It's all a marketing game of one-upsmanship (with fine print) isn't it?

So you just accept lying and cheating as normal and expected? I expect honesty.

I really hate to break this to those here that assumed absolute honesty from advertising and marketing but....brochure payload is was never attainable in all but a very, very few trucks on the local lot. Axe body spray will not have young ladies clamouring after you, eating at Subway will not make you lose 300# like Jared did, Campbell's soup is not part of an NFL players game routine. I could go on forever but hopefully those that assumed the auto industry was different know not to believe everything they see or read.
