Riiiiight....wink wink

Oh, I am very knowledgeable on the topic of weight and capacities, I assure you. You're opinion is that trucks can handle more, as anything can handle more than a given design specification, but those ratings are solid and need to be adhered to.
Ignorance is ignoring OEM ratings and you're an absolute fool to say anything on the contrary. End of story.
It's cringeworthy how wrong you are on this particular topic, but I'm dropping it to not derail OPs thread. Carry on with the Toyota talk.
