Finally some people on RV.Net who understand that pickup truck gvwr ratings aren’t real!
Anyone who buys a 350 because they believe it’s more capable than a 450 is being fooled.
Same for the people who buy a gas engine truck to increase capacity over a diesel.
I’ve seen guys sell an earlier model dually and buy a new single rear wheel just for “more payload”.
Pickup trucks are given artificially low numbers so they stay in lighter licensing classes. That’s all.
The ones I feel sorry for are Canadians because their silly government believes those numbers and makes pickup owners stick to the brochure numbers.
