I've never come across any TC with a sticker that states a weight LESS than the actual weight. If it exists, I'd sure like to know about it....
You and I both know that is a 'fantasy' weight 1900 is LESS than my PUP weighs (according to my weight sticker). It actually weighed 2100 with no 'stuff' added.

My PUP sticker states 1950 and that is a fantasy as well. The bottom line is, you cannot play Lucy and Desi and take everything with you and expect not to have mechanical or tire issues down the road, in as much as they are all heavier (at least the ones I'm familiar with) than the stated (sticker) weight.
Kind of like a private airplane. You can only take so much weight in cargo and passengers and if you exceed that, you run out of runway before it gets off the ground....
