Actually it was 40% of 5th wheels and a higher number for TTs that I don't recall the exact number so I just threw out the 40%. I'd totally believe it and see it every time I pull into a CG. It's always 1/2 ton owners believing the commercials that their brand of truck is the biggest baddest.
Pure BS. Lots of dressed out 3/4 and 1 ton are overloaded. By the time they got all the accessories and options they usually don't have what the owners think they have. I've often asked why is it ok to overload a 3/4 or 1 ton then add airbags or helper springs but a big NO NO to do the same to a half ton? I've heard more ignorant answers from those so proud of their "superior" intelligence.

And I would rather tow a fiver than a lighter TT any day of the week, no sway, no weight distribution or loading concerns (except loaded pin weight), more relaxing driving.
Exactly! It is much safer to tow a fifth slightly overloading a truck then towing a TT at ratings requiring a bunch of bandaids to make it "safe".
