And how often do you use the 5,600 pound towing capacity?
Personally? Never have. I know folks with similar trucks who do so daily.
Here's my thing though: It's got weirdly high onboard payload capacity, but a small bed. So...how do you load it that heavy? At the same time, it has a low towing capacity, so it's not great for a contractor pulling a trailer. It's almost backwards in a way.
Its not for contractors any more than its for people who think they need to tow four tons of cow shit to texas twice a week.
Contractors have trucks. People who want to traffic feces to texas have trucks. This truck isnt for them. Its for the person who just needs to grab stuff from the garden center or haul a couple of bikes to the lake without buying a $70,000 land yacht.
