I was gonna ask opinions on Oil Change interval and brand next…mostly because I seem to like y’all and what you have to say. (Know that it’s a forbidden topic on most motorcycle, Corvette, and IT forums as well)

As soon as it rolled onto the dealer's lot and you bought it, that "maximum payload" becomes a "conditional payload"... in other words, if your DW is sitting in the passenger's seat and she weighs 300 pounds, you have less payload than if she's sitting in the passenger's seat and weighs 100 pounds...

The audience ponders the factualness of the statement and ponders the way it was presented with abject horror.

And
JRHTH sticks the recovery!
I’m thinking I need a truck with double the payload of the measured, fully-wet, trailer requirements. Anything less could be catastrophe.
