"The devil is in the details". When a manufacturer says that a certain model can tow "Up to 11,000 pounds", what buyer is going to believe that the ones that look just like the one in the commercial may be overloaded at half that? I once purchased a 1500 that was "rated" to tow 9,500 pounds and I was very disappointed to find out it couldn't handle 7,500 comfortably and safely.
My suggestion is that people shopping for tow vehicles and trailers bring actual scale numbers or at least yellow sticker ratings to the forum to get some suggestions. There are three or four on here who can actually put a pencil to the numbers and come up with reasonable answers. Hear that Ron?
