[QUOTE=flybouy;478452]The "published information" is basically advertising and is like looking at the EPA estimated fuel milage on a new car. As a CDL driver J would think 6ou would understand the basic principle of how ****ing a load in a trailer affects the weight of the pin and axles.
Not defending hauling overloaded but I think Keystone should likely put a note in their specs indicating the the pin weights they tout will never been seen in the real world. A fella with a CDL was fooled into taking a published pin weight as reliable. Add to this their 1/2 ton and now 3/4 ton towable fictions and you wonder if Keystone believes they will benefit in some way from doing business in this manner. I know, I know... they all do it but it would be refreshing to see honest towing guidance for prospective first time buyers. And of course, dealerships are culpable as well...
