Most of it is good, but I have issues with his 1lb cargo = 6 lbs lost towing capacity. He sluffs it off by saying that the math is complicated. I want to see his math.

But I do agree most people don't account for even the mass of the people in the vehicle, let along luggage and all the travelling goodies. We were actually overweight towing our TM with the Tahoe, which has a pretty nice towing capacity.

It’s crazy to think my 2004 GMC Envoy had a higher payload capacity than my 2017 Ram 1500.

I already have my next truck picked out, it’s a Ram 3500 Cummins. Should have a payload capacity in the 4,000lb ballpark. Now to just figure out how to justify the $95,000 price tag…

Hah! I'd have trouble justifying $9,500!!!!!

Starving poor teacher up here.
