Do people really care what the sticker says that much ? DOT really seem to be all over the 2500 and 250's but virtually ignore the 3500's.
Around these parts if the tires dont rub you are good to go...trouble with heavy loads is the beer tilts in the cup holder and spills a little so you find yourself guzzling the top 2 inches every time you crack a fresh one.
Bingo. That's about it.....and the post about gvw being more regulatory than capacity related.
It does make for about 10 heated discussions a week here between those that believe only in the posted numbers and those that either understand a vehicle's capability or simply don't obsess over a sticker!
