Also, how does rear end ratio make that big of a difference. The rear end has alot to do with the truck, but everything else is the same 3.73 or 3.55, their the same truck, different rear end ratio...

Don't have that truck anymore... Too bad

You have an eld too. max tow max payload 3.73s with an LSD plus the perfect config (4x2) and stripped give it 11,300.
Gears mean everything when towing. How the **** do you have a cdl with a question like that about gears!!!????

Okay then, I have a CDL. That sounds so much better, ha! Actually, never been asked if I have a CDL. I've been asked do I have my CDL's or do I have a Commercial Driver's Licence, but never do I have my CDL... Hmmm

Speaking of insurance, what do you think your insurance company will have to say if you total your truck and load while exceeding the max tow rating.

Enjoy the new truck, it's a nice one. Just use common sense.

Oh, well good thing I don't do this everyday then huh? Should invest in a Dually, guess I'll wait on my stimulus check... Well if the lil fella at the boat yard can do it with an S10, i'm pretty sure my lil F150 can handle it!

Is that what you tell the troopers at the weigh station in a big rig too? But officer, he does it, why can't I?
I'm beside myself right now, seriously.
