You don't hear people complain because they have too much truck.
I've seen the damage caused by too much truck on a Holiday Rambler 5th wheel and a small travel trailer. Something is going to give. If not suspension, it will be structure.
Thats absurd......I would love to hear that scenario explained? Better tell that to the RV transport contractors who might tow a 3500 lb GVWR single axle Starcraft Launch to the dealer in Philly from Elkhardt with an F450.
Is that a personal attack or are you admitting your ignorance about stress cracks in frames and the scenarios that contribute to them?
Probably neither. I think he just wants to know how a bigger truck is harder on a trailer. I must admit, I'm curious too. Would I put less stress on my rather small TT if I ditched the 3/4 ton and bought a half ton? Or conversely, would I damage it if I went to an F450? Inquiring minds want to know...
