GREAT ADVICE !!! Far too many "noobies" look at the advertised weights, advertised payload, advertised empty weight and get "fascinated with colors and floorplans and forget to double check their vehicle against what's actually posted on the door pillar or on the yellow sticker (where ever it might be glued). They go with "generalities and best weight/base model" propaganda from the truck manufacturers and the trailer manufacturers and forget that they live in a "real world" with the truck that is in their driveway, not the one in the advertisements. Most vehicles, unless you buy a "stripped base model" won't come close to the payload advertised by Ford, GM or RAM. (include Toyota and Nissan if you want). To them, it's about selling trucks and boasting to beat the competition, so take what you see on paper with a grain of salt and take what you see on the truck as gospel.... They won't be the same.
