[QUOTE="lavacarancher, post: 637534, member: 9198"] Didn't say it wasn't. BIL was stupid for believing that the salesman would tell him the truth and the salesman was a liar. BIL should have done his homework and looked at the ratings of the truck and used a little caution even then as the factories have a wonderful talent at specmanship. Would you have hooked up a 7500 lb fifthwheel to an automatic Toyota? I wouldn't have. As far as overloading the vehicle I think that's what makes the difference between one that will survive and one that scatters its innards all over the highway. I've towed as much as 26,000 lbs with my Duramax and it performed flawlessly. Never overheated, transmission temperature stayed below 200°F, brakes worked perfectly, etc. The only trouble I had was the Fords and Dodges pulling 30K lbs would run off and hide from me out on the road. But I don't pull that kind of load on a daily basis. Occasionaly I need to pull something that is going to run over the load limit of the truck - and it needs to take it without breaking. If I needed to pull something that weighs over 25,000 lbs everyday I would have bought a Peterbilt. [/QUOTE]
