I don't know what everyone is so upset about.
To start with, the truck is still capable of "pulling" as much as it
ever was. It just sits too low to tow tremendous weights safely.
I have an old beater Chevy P/U I've used in construction for 15 yrs and
to this day, I doubt any trailer I towed weighed 6,000 lbs. That's 3
tons folks! 1 full ton more than the truck weighs!!!
Relax, how many people even tow more than a seadoo or the like anyway?
If you do a lot of hauling(besides ass), I don't think the R/T was the
best choice for the job.
I'm sure not upset by the news. Alan S.
