Delete this as you have done before… site team. This is a Keystone forum. Not a truck forum.

All your signature indicates is the truck has a "C" on it? That means it's a Cummins diesel which lowers the payload further due to the engine weight.
No one is picking on you, if you're happy towing extremely overloaded then by all means do so! Just be aware that, God forbid, you're in an accident those weights WILL be a big part of the investigation & ignorance is no excuse.
That site team member is simply pointing out the facts to you & anyone else that may be thinking their diesel truck can haul anything they can hitch to it, which is definitely NOT so. Yes that truck with the "C" can/will "pull" about anything hitched to it, but it CAN NOT safely within the trucks posted limits "carry" the weight of everything you hitch to it.
Sorry this is so upsetting to you! I don't think the moderators should delete every post that the "tractor beam" weight police make a comment about just because it pisses a couple of folks off.
Correct/accurate weight calculation is a big part of rving & those that are glaringly obvious as being or about to be overweight should be pointed out, whether it upsets them or not.
It's meant to inform all who are reading that every truck has its limitations which the engine type is only a small part of the equation.
