I tow a 38' weekend warrior with a large slide. I have an F250 with airbags. It tows great. I am completely legal and I am actually planning on going bigger.
I never stated anything about legal, I said "within tow ratings of the truck".
I would like to see a CAT scale ticket and then the year of your truck before I judge. :)
There's one on glamisdunes.com. 2008 ww led3505. 06 f250. Lifted 8" on 37" tires.
I'm under all legal ratings. That's all that matters to me. If there was an issue with people exceeding their manafacturers rated sticker there would be a law prohibiting it. We have laws for everything in this country. If you have proof of somebody recreational towing and being sued for something in a civil lawsuit please post it up here. I'd love to read it.
You can literally find anything on the internet. I've yet to find a factual story about this issue. I could literally being involved in a civil suit with all kinds of things, heck we probably shouldn't ever have anybody over to the house because we might get sued.
Just because others do it doesn't make it smart or safe...Airbags level your load..You may be "legal" in the sense of the word to dot, but I'm willing to bet you're over some of your trucks recommended ratings. Say what you want, you've already convinced yourself it's all well and good, but my family's safety comes foremost, and I'll tow accordingly.
