buzz,
Do you have any idea how much total weight was involved with this Max Load? It would be nice to know where the edges are. I don't have a pic, as I was totally involved in getting my rig from A to B without incident, but, our Max load was 8 yrs. ago when we had the truck, Lance, car trailer with a 4400 pound jeep on there and a whole garage full of heavy metal stuff (like tools, transmissions and floor jax). My estimate of the Combined Vehicle Weight was 18K pounds on a truck whose CVWR was 19.300 pounds. I did not weigh this load, just tried to get it to B without blowing a tire or something going haywire. There certainly is a heightened sense of awareness. My gut tells me you were at or over that higher figure. It does move one to pay attention to every noise and possible visual menace.
