Aside from Pebblenutz's hateful blather, I don't see what all the fuss is about. If 100 lbs is all it would take to put one over the taxable weight of the truck, one should consider more truck anyhow. Slight exaggerations in marketing is nothing new. Far be it from any of us to tell fish stories.
I hear the same crrrap about my work route Prius. Buy some Toyota stock and be part owner and share in the profits. Same with Chrysler. Did someone say the Mexican Chrysler plants are union now? I hope so.
