Know won't get much of a response, but curious why folks understand payload,
cargo, MTWR, etc as a NUMBER, but refuse to use the GVWR number and
only use marketing verbiage...like F150, 1500 half ton
There are over a dozen DIFFERENT F150's and ditto GM, but there is only one
7,400 GVWR Ford or GM or any other OEM. Ditto a 7,200 GVWR. Ditto a 6,800 GVWR, ETC
They are also, *ALL* half tons. Ditto that they are *ALL* F150's or 1500's...
Also, many prefer to use the number of wheel lugs...
Just curious why?...but really know why and the OEM marketing ID managers also
know why...
Because it says F-150 on the fender, tailgate, etc. and everyone knows what a F-150 is.
You can tell your co-worker you just bought a brand new Chevy 7800 GVWR but people are just going to look at you like you sprouted two heads. You might enjoy educating the general populace on the finer points of a 7000GVWR vs. an 8200GVWR but unless the individual is interested, you'll bore the hell out of them. And then they start avoiding you in the break room, or at least that's what I do to people that tell a 30 minute story that I've got no interest in.
