Now we have to have a safety factor over and above the safety factor the manufacturer already built in. Please hurry, I don't want to kill my wife and kids - I need to know what safety factor I have to operate at now. I think I'm going to need an Peterbilt 579 to pull my 8000 GVWR trailer.
"How the truck performs during the daily drive is less of a concern for me"
Completely agree! Why be on the edge all the time while towing? Too many things can and will happen!
Snarky - sure. But if you are within the specs you are good to go. And Daily Driver is a concern to me. Because:
1. It needs to fit in parking decks (cause that is where my work takes me at times) (i.e.: more parking lot friendly),
2. I would like it to fit in my garage (my F250 won't)(it's difficult to even get behind the house),
3. An F150 ecoboost gets great gas mileage in every day use (less in gas money sounds good to me),
3. An F150 ecoboost is also a very capable tow vehicle
Daily driving may not matter to you, but it does to me.
