The truck in my signature has a GVWR rating of 7,700 pounds. The combined axle weight at my last weigh in was 8,100 pounds. Problem? (Trailer weight was 6,340. Combined was 14,440.) Thanks. Da...
Engineers don't have a clue what your vehicle is capable of when they assign those Gross Vehicle Weight Ratings. They should change them to Gross Vehicle Weight Guesses. Most owners and lots of contributors on here know more than they ever will. The ecoboost will pull even more.
In case anyone doesn't get it, I am being sarcastic. I have never had a tow vehicle that was comfortable when exceeding its manufacturer's ratings. Yes, I have done it and got by with it, just as others might.
