[QUOTE="GordoJay, post: 1814605, member: 39584"] Um, no. 800lb on the hitch puts 900+ on the rear axle. Maybe as much as a 1000, depending on the geometry of the hitch. Other weight in the cab puts even more weight on the rear axle. I'll bet dollars to donuts that you're going to go way over the maximum load on the rear axle. Maximum payload cannot be placed randomly. Like most maximum specs, an engineer came up with the highest possible number assuming that a genius with a scale loads the vehicle. There are three important numbers on your doorplate. Maximum load, maximum load on the front axle, and maximum load on the rear axle. You have to be under all three in order to have any margin of safety. [/QUOTE]
