Thanks for the explanation, but ya made up the 8klb towing capacity thing.
I get it some people are far more cautious than others or less experienced or less capable, but the claims on this website are not of sound logic but rather, Sky is falling type stuff that can not be substantiated by any more than possibly, maybe , if your lucky a single or small amount of occurrences that the perpetrators of the “theories” likely don’t even know the root or contributing causes of.
Difference is, I, like some, am an engineer by profession and a mechanic/construction worker by trade, so I have a broader range of experiences and education to use to assimilate my responses ( to these types of questions), which generally are not blanket reccomendations without qualifications in instances like this thread.
Whereas the, Ill call them, naysayer responses are usually unsubstantiated and yet somehow absolute in nature.
Difference between a lawyer and an engineer I suppose. One person actually develops the answers for the world and the other tries to twist them into something their not many times because we both get paid for our results at the end of the day and have to do our jobs, even if they both require you showering when you get home to remove different types of stink.
