[QUOTE="K9 EXPERT, post: 1947338, member: 54827"] As you previously wrote, a WDH and/or airbags do not increase the payload capacity. However you never answered my question, what exactly does the Raptor have that makes you think it is equipped with the max tow package? Provide a link, or better yet, a side by side comparison, via screen shot??? There are a lot of dumb cops, but there are many more not so dumb. Example, today I went to pay for the UTV I ordered. In the parking lot there was a Ford Explorer hooked to a trailer that had two side by sides on it. The trailer barely sagged, if at all. A cop doesn’t need to be a rocket scientist to know the explorer was well past its load capacity. Upon closer examination, the Explorer had a WDH, which does not make it legal. Traffic was not my forte, but a term LE uses is, “based on my training and experience”, which will in 98% of cases, establish probable cause. Bottom line, my posts were never intended to scare people, the intention is to educate people, so that they can make an informed decision. Ford IMO should be liable because of marketing, but my opinion doesn’t matter, just like your opinion regarding a Raptor can tow 5000 pounds does not matter. Ford can and does have a legal team as well as lobbyists for which I cannot compete. It is up to the driver to use common sense and complete due diligence. [/QUOTE]
