You have an opinion there.
Actually I gave directly relevant experience and measurement.....that is more than opinion.
Not at all. There is good experience, bad experience, and lucky experience. Doing something that one should not, and being lucky with no breakdowns (yet) or other problems can delude one into thinking that the TV is capable of more that what the engineers that designed it think.
That doesn't mean that the next person that attempts it will fare as well.
You either believe in following the numbers or you don't.
I do not have a problem with that... I do have a problem with someone recommending that a newbie ignore the numbers.
The numbers say it's ok, easily actually. Beyond that I've used a similar vehicle to pull larger and significantly larger trailers for something like 60,000 km pulling since 2003, it's not marginal. I go in all kinds of weather, never any trouble with pulling and reliability: it's over 300,000 km total now and I still think nothing of taking it out of province on a regular basis. Ya it will go in a year or two as the inside is shot, but that's not bad service. That is fact, and it's not luck and there are lots of others who have the same experience.
My background was as a design engineer for 30 years. I really don't accept these emotional replies of insult like saying I "delude" myself, I'll stick to the physics. Enough said.
