It's crazy how many people see a commercial with a manufacture claiming max tow and payload numbers and think they can go get a fully loaded crew cab and do the same thing. There should be some liability there somewhere but at some point thee needs to be a little common sense used by the people buying the vehicle.
I don't get how that article is getting so much attention. 25000 miles on that thing and he is full of crap thinking it was 6500lbs total payload when the camper dry is 5000. He was at that with a full tank of water, fuel and two people. He has crap hanging off that thing everywhere and a 300lb bike + carrier and two battery capacity on the back on top of that. No way that thing drove good. They were 1500-2000 over payload. That's crazy. I have drove the F-150 a short distance @ only 300 over payload and it wasn't fun.
Makes me wonder how many here are way over payload on their loaded 80. I know I'm one of them now lol... Good thing they didn't have the yellow stickers back in the 90's ...
