Towing capacity vs max cargo weight rating

Yes, correct, and this post and a few others you have made, tells me that you are much more knowledgeable, concerning the subject of your thread, than you were saying. Still makes a good discussion, and may help others understand why some TVs are more robust, than stickers are telling.

I wish I was more knowledgeable. For example, I did not know that passenger weight was not included in the payload numbers - all this time I was thinking that the number assumes 6 people x 150 lbs = 900 lbs and that since there is only two of us, I magically gain 600 lbs of payload ;). I do understand (now) that RAWR/curb weight is what really matters. I did learn about the wheels accidentally when on a previous truck I went shopping for wheels and noticed a weight rating on them (before I bought - thank God).

Thanks!
