I'm hearing it said that it's okay just because you can pull with a 3/4 ton truck. Yes, you can, but are you safe? Because you left and got back without incident, what happens next time? I ask myself these questions every time we are on the road. And, I also say a prayer that I will get there and back without incident and that I won't be the cause of harm to anyone else.

Orv, when the 3/4 and 1 ton SRW trucks are the same exact truck except for a spring leaf, I have no problem with safely pulling the same load the SRW 1 ton pulls. I may not be in line with the sticker on the door post, but I could care less. I've worked with lots of heavy equipment before, and seen it modified many times to do more than the manufacturer rated it for.
