Yes..that looks very nice...but we will always have a boat or ATV trailer in tow. My 4200 lbs is total, wet..with everything. That is why I thought the 86FB would be good as it should be 3300 or so loaded. The dealer I looked at actually weighs them, and this one weighted 2700lbs as it sat in the lot.
I have already upgraded my tires..not to the 19.5s, got rid of the junk OEMs and went to Toyo ATIIs with 3700 apiece....total of 7400..scales showed the truck with full tank and wife as 3200 on rear axle..that is where I got my 4200 available figure from.
I understand what you are trying to say here, but my suggestion is to NEVER - and I mean NEVER, mention the wife in ANY conversation regarding weight. Even if it is about her being to light to assist when it's beneficial to have MORE weight. Am I right ladies? ;)
