air bags on truck

On the same note, not to be sexist. However if 6 fat chicks are in a small Toyota, and kill someone,will you go after them for being "overloaded?".i have discussed this issue with my agent. They don't care how much you weigh.. The manufacturer does for your warranty. But no insurance company cares. Personally, we are not overloaded.dodge cummins 3500 dually. 4:10s six speed stick.. Gvwr of 12200... Gcvwr of 23000 lbs,,, tow capacity of 15250....I tow 59 mph.. Now if the gentleman family hit us and killed us... I'd sue! Wait a second,,, that does not make sense..LOL

I first put airbags on a 2002 Toyota Tundra, and now have them on an F250. Put cattle feed, fertilizer, or seed in the back....level it up. Hook up to a trailer of firewood....level it up. Load the truck camper....level it up.

They do not change the Manufacturer's specs. but they do level it up.

Just got mine...looking forward to installing during Spring Break! :)

Ok you win.

If Joe RVer has a 250/2500 SRW and he installs air bags and 19.5's and tows my Mobile Suites that weighs over 20K there is enough evidence that proves his TV was not up to the task to begin with. My example does exist they are out there every day.

Anyway this is a no win argument on here but I really suggest people quit putting bandaids on their TV's and get the proper TV to match their RV choice.

Please post verifiable court cases of deaths and accidents caused by overloaded, non-commercial, RV tow vehicles.

Lots of fear mongering spouted on the forums.

No verifiable facts provided by these fear mongerers.

So if you want to play roulette by towing over your limits you better have a huge umbrella policy.

There is no way you could prove it in court.

You can try that tactic regardless of the weight of the rig. You might win. You might not. I have never seen, nor heard of an actual first hand account where being over the manufactures rated weight created a larger settlement.

Welcome to America, where people can, and will, sue over just about anything.

Fault would also have to be proven first.

What did you use to tow with your 12V???
