I do not think we have agreed as to what is overloading a "3/4-ton". I do think there is a difference in "overloading a truck is safe based on engineering principles" than marketing strategies and actual load capacities are. I base my belief on my real life experiences and of those I RV'ed with. I am so convinced with these experiences, that unless you can counter my experiences, all we have left is arguments. No value in that. As I stated, our personal experiences are very different. I can't see that you and I can agree what is or is not a floating axle. I am not referring to what sales/marketing calls a floating axle.

Whether an axle is a full floating axle (that is, the weight is supported by the axle tubes) and a semi-floating axle (weight is supported by the axle SHAFTS themselves) is not a matter of marketing. It is an empirical fact that is not subject to dispute; the two designs are different that there is no argument that one is the other. Red is not blue.
