ksss - ah the wind - good thought
BenK - I haven't found any of these Fake half tons - Do you know which models/years they are? Perhaps it would open up more possibilities in my vehicle search. Do you think they are better in gas mileage than other 3/4 tons?
Wow - KD4UPL - Isn't it unsafe to overload your weight rating like that? I read that handling and stopping power will be decreased making driving less safe?
Just wondering because I found a pickup I liked but it's GVWR was 160# less than my goal so I was worried about exceeding it. Of course my goal was created by adding 1250# for full tanks/batteries/people/stuff to the dry weight and payload numbers I was able to dig up online. I haven't verified them. If I pulled the combo onto a scale, my concern is that I might be exceeding my GVWR by quite a bit more because of optional installed equipment that wasn't in my prepurchase calculations.
