I guess that presumes that I cause an accident due to pulling something over the manufacturer’s weight recommendation. Because that is the only way that opens up the possibility of a lawsuit. Because if I cause an accident it is way more likely I caused it due to some other negligence...

Yeah, I do not use those either. We are like doctors…No two will agree. But I would prefer to rely on opinions in things like 2nd Restatement rather than Motor Trend. But I do not disagree with the premise…that all kinds of things can form the basis of a plaintiff’s negligence claim. But...

The former. I too like to advise clients using the learned treatise of Motor Trend. Haha.

Well…since you mention it, lawsuits are what I do for a living. Not a “street lawyer” whatever that is. Instead a licensed lawyer. And way more lawsuits are filed for other reasons of negligence than towing more than a manufacturer recommendation. But of course you are right, if that...

I love this scare crow always coming out when talking about towing. One is much more likely to create your liability, both criminal and civil, with all one’s other decisions. Remember there will be no civil liability unless you cause an accident…in which case this is probably not the...

Looks great. I go back and forth on the pocket flares. Sometimes I think I would rather have smooth, then other time I prefer the Bushwhackers. But these look awesome and ready for some bigger tires!

Agree. And trailer brakes sure are nice, but so many things people pull are not dependent on the truck, like surge on a boat. I will put a round plug on so if the trailer has electric brakes, they work (even our aluminum 16’ has them despite only weighing less than 1000# empty) and because I...

Not necessarily relevant. The odds that it will overheat regardless the size of the rad is very low. I have pulled all sorts of things over the technical spec and never had something overheat. You are much more likely to feel uncomfortable with the suspension well before you hit limits of the...

Which is only relevant if the cooling capacity of the rad is not enough. But certainly it has softer suspension. That is typical for off road packages and from what people say, it rides nicer. But airbags, a brake controller, and a round trailer plug (Tremor only comes with flat 4) it should...

Yeah I have created my own problem. Added flares and flaps to keep the tires from throwing stuff up the side of the truck. Those now make the wheels/tires look extra too small. So a lift and bigger tires, and I will be back in proportion…throwing stuff up the side of the truck.

yes please. I was debating bigger tires at stock height or a lift and BIG tires. That made up my mind.

Not for those of us who wanted the bigger shafts and “locking” axle.

No, I lost interest in fighting the issue for a bit. I will try the new version. Thanks.

It’s not too bad. And you can take it out completely by pulling two pins.

Fastop. Combo soft topper which folds down into the bed and allows a cover to be rolled across. Less than half the price of a hard shell, easy to get out of the way for an oversized load, and actually looks pretty decent. Best part is both work on the truck at the same time. No need for...

I made my flaps work with the flares with just one hole drilled in the flare.

No kidding…the wheels/tires look too small now. Darn, I guess they just have to get a little bigger.

Me too!

Marathon seat covers. The are spendy…but awesome.
