Didn't feel you were picking on me.
I was caught in a conundrum a 2500 with a lousy 8,800# GVWR, no 3500 SRW from Dodge from 1994 to 2002, just a 3500 DRW. The 2500 had the Camper Package so same springs as DRW 3500. Never needed bags, so never worried about it, until we started full timing. Up to then we were always under 10,000# on the TV and about 600# under rear GAWR. Well 5er got heaver, and pin got heaver, and a bit more in the TV, last scale was 10,500# on the TV, just pushing too much if I ever got scaled.
DW didn't like driving the stick shift, also didn't like doing the chaser car thing.
I didn't like the small back seat and suicide rear doors (I was told this was part of the reason the 1st owner traded it). I did worry about the amount I was over the sticker GVWR, but only in a civil action, not because the TV felt overloaded or handled poorly.
Can't wait to tow with the new rig, picture frame adapter will be here Monday and the bed cover so I can get tool box and hitch moved.
