"The dealer refused to let them drive the Fusion off the lot. The couple was going to borrow a friend's F350 to get Fusion off lot."

Proves some dealers wont accept the liability of overloading."

In my opinion it should be a requirement that dealers can not sell a Rv to a buyer that Does not have a truck that meets the spec's... buy a smaller Rv
I know from our experience in selling Rv's at Rv shows for several years that most Rv buyers have little or no understanding of weights and specs and when given the proper information will re think the purchase.

I also question the loaded pin weight of 2200lbs on Daves 2007 3400.It may be a typo. I know how he travels and he basically has the same Montana as my previous 06 3400. His Generator, same as mine is in the back of the truck. My guess is he will be at @ 2700 lbs.

We have not yet had the opportunity to weigh the 13 3402 Big Sky but will at the Fall rally. My guess is that it would be & 2700/2800 lbs and am encouraged by the weights on your 2012 3402. We did a serious lighten up project on our 06 after the first weigh in and did the same when transferring "stuff " to this 13 3402. We do have plenty of CC left over.
