I have read that most auto manufacturers underestimate their towing and payload capacity to be on the safe side. Is this true? I just bought a 2013 Ford F-150 with towing package and 7100GVWR but it only has a payload capacity of 1720. We may exceed that buy about 100 pounds on some trips when older son is with us. Cause for concern?
Nope. I've run many F150s at or over their gvw from the day they were new til I passed them down to someone else. Make sure the tires are full of air and hit the road....
