Oh...ratings has a performance specification and that is a minimum for performance
not maximums for ratings
Many don't think braking is part of performance, but it is.
As are every other aspect of a vehicle part of the 'performance specification'
That 100 lb might have the truck stop inches longer...is that going to make a
difference in all situations?
Have pushed the limits/ratings many, many times and mostly during my youth and
before the kids came along.
Even after the kids were here...got into situations where the ratings were
exceeded and lucky to have made it through...wasn't that other guy that day...
