I find it interesting that when a manufacturer mentions max payload they don’t say anything about rear axle ratings, tires and rims.
That's what they're talking about where it says "properly equipped." It's hard to spend 5 minutes prattling on about axles, tires, and rims in a 15-second commercial.
"Facebook Guy" went by the maximum payload in the advertisement not realizing his truck was not "properly equipped" and ended up with a broken frame. Despite the fact that he was under the axle manufacturer's rating on the rear axle.
