YEP! Ain't what ya can tow, it's what ya can carry!!!
Maybe they're moving the axles further up these days but I got to disagree with this for the most part. Mine easily surpasses 17K and I'm in the low 3000s on the pin. That is becoming more and more common from what I can tell.
But you're right on about the scales. That's the real test.
