I'm so confused.......what does some of this have to do with towing? or hauling? or life in general?
Like towing a 4000 lbs trailer with a 76 yota 3 miles across town? or getting pulled over at 27K lbs, with a truck registered at 26K lbs, factory gvwr is 18200.......NOT getting an overweight ticket! Going down the road at 20+K lbs with my 96 K3500 6.5TD NV4500 trans that was rated at 12500 GCWR! or the 45K in Navitar with a 175/335 IDI 7.3 motor that had a gcwr of 35000 lbs, and 18200 gvwr.........hmmmmmmmm........
Sounds like me grandpappy that moved down the road in his Model T pickumup at 35-40K lbs with a 4 banger that might have had some 100 hp at best! Granted teh top speed limit was what, 25-35 mph......
We've all done smart/stupid things. Some were actually thought about, ie how to do safe and sanely, others, well Darwin has not struck me yet!
