Agreed.

Many people get away with going over limits all the time usually without any problems.

It sure wasn't fun that one time we were stuck in the middle of Missouri with a broken axle on the ol' pickup though with all our belongings in it.

But still, I think we all agree on what people do with their vehicles and what can be done.

What I was referring to is why do they make such a big vehicle with such a low payload rating. It just seems like selling a hammer that says on the box that it isn't meant to be used as a hammer. Regardless if people can or are going to use it as a hammer, why sell it like that?
