I recently purchased a 2014 Heartland Torque SS, model #261. The VIN placard indicated the trailer was equipped with ST235/80R16E tires and appropriate axel to fit my desired needs. However, when returning from a recent trip I had one of the tires blow. When the tire was being changed the technician informed me the tires and axel did not match what was on the VIN placard. I informed Heartland and they sent me a letter informing me the VIN placard of the trailer was incorrect and they provided me with a new placard indicating the actual tire size. Unfortunately, it appears this hauler can't carry the amount of weight I was told it could.
Can I have a new axel, springs and tires placed on the hauler in order to increase the cargo capacity? Is this even safe?
