Chain is only as strong as its weakest link. That should be in play when trying to figure out what can and cant be towed or hauled.Stubby T Slapnutt, FlaSwampRat, singlescrewshaker and 1 other person Thank this. -

I will say this..
I think how 1 tons gets away with a overloaded drive is because "most" scale bears have been taught 12k steer, 20k single, 34k tandem, 80k gross.. They have little to no knowledge of pickups & just how much lower their axle capacities actually are..Stubby T Slapnutt Thanks this. -
This morning, I drove by a 1 ton pickup with a 40' gooseneck trailer. He was on the side of the freeway with a very big problem. His gooseneck broke off from trailer but still attached to pickup truck. A few feet behind the truck was the trailer with 2 cars leaning on it side with missing gooseneck. I am surprised the trailer didnt fly off and roll over causing injuries. The guy must be an owner operator because he looked very stressed and his posture was grimm.

With that said I really really wish people would stop using 1 ton to describe a pickup, my new pickup has a high capacity exceeding one ton. All of those terms went out with the 90's.
