Ace,

Is 1000lbs on a 26,000lb load going to make any difference worth considering?
1000lbs is less than 5percent of the total.
Will 2,000lbs, far less than 10percent?

I'm just trying to get a guideline here other than the hill outside of bullhead AZ at 115°.
All that's missing from the towing capacity a manufacturer spits out is the California Cancer Warning.
Towing capacity, like speed limits, are made so the world's worst operator can operate. It's not set for norms, it's set for the abnormally untalented.

Look it up, tell me the reality of that factory test and those numbers.

I'm with staying within parameters, some need set. The ones set aren't religion, they aren't real life.
They're a guideline, not a breaking point.

That's all I'm saying. Use common sense, use the guidelines as a point of concern, not a barb wire fence.
