If you want legal advice your best bet is to contact a lawyer in the proper jurisdiction. Any "legal advice" you get for free here is worth what you paid for it.

I learned a long time ago that you can always tell when a salesman is lying, his lips are moving. If it is not on paper you have nothing to argue about.

The salesman is NOT your friend. He is there for one reason, to separate you from your money and reduce his inventory.

It's up to you to check the figures and buy within the capabilities of your tow vehicle. I'm assuming you got the pin weight from a scale. If not then you do not have the actual weight.

One should never ever buy an RV because the empty weight is within the tow vehicle limits. Unless you are towing the RV to deliver it you are not going to be towing or using an empty RV. Always look to the max weight. If the tow vehicle is not up to handling the max weight of the RV then you need to decide what to do about it. Move on to select another lighter RV or get a more qualified tow vehicle. In any event it is up to the buyer to beware.

No matter what the Ford commercials imply, the F150 is a half ton PU, that means it's about the lightest weakest PU they make. It is not an RV hauler.
