    Yeah, that 6500 lb. number is a crock--I would not even think about towing 6500 lb. with a 3800 lb. tow vehicle...

    yeah agreed. the cart pushing the horse there. Always loved the insane tow ratings of some of these new vehicles.... ie F150 13200lbs.... for a ~4500-4800lb truck... jezus.

    If you are comparing truck weight to trailer weight then how do 18 wheelers do it? A lot of their payloads are double or triple the weight of the truck. My old ram3500 dually would tow 2 taken apart crop dusters on a 50 foot steel gooseneck with ease.

    Apples and oranges--a "Fifth" wheel/"gooseneck" hitch differs (trailer/tongue weight over the rear axle) greatly from a "bumper" hitch with the tongue/trailer weight lever/cantilever mounted well rear of the axle...
