Is there really a noticeable difference between 17,790 and 20,000?
I don't think you're going to be any happier at 17.790 than you were at 20,000. At either weight you're blissfully ignorant, or hating life if you have to tow very far.
This is not a "decrease in capability" as they keep repeating in the video. The truck never had the capability in the first place.
But the truck was advertised and sold as having that capacity. To me it sounds a lot like getting casino built, declaring bankruptcy before the workers are paid, flying away on you private plane.
No. It wasn't advertised or sold as having that capacity.
This number is something the end user has to actively seek out and look up. Clearly whoever wrote the logic that comes up with the numbers made a mistake and it has been corrected.
When you put in the VIN for a 2500 truck and it comes back telling you that your tow capacity is 20,000+lbs, you should be saying "Hey, wait a minute!" because it's not realistic. You say "Hey wait a minute!" when you see that a 1500 is rated to pull 13,200lbs...
