    Why you shouldn't exceed TV limits

    My wife sent this to me, she found it in the 311 Facebook group.

    I guess he should have added airbags, Timbrens, sumo springs and whatever else people add that they think raises their vehicle capacity. Click image for larger version.

    Hopefully nobody on this or the other forum. I wonder if the salesman told him he could tow it?

    Trying to figure out who you are replying to

    I went back and saw no mention of speed in any comments

    When we purchased our Reflection 318 RST from a dealer in Orillia, ON the salesman didn't even ask what we were planning on towing the 5th with. We have had plenty experience towing but he didn't know that. Rather sad but I imagine it's not uncommon.

    I think the dealers don't want the salesmen to mention anything about tow vehicles that may negate a sale or even make them liable in any way.

    We used the same dealer in Orillia, ON and our did ask about tow vehicle. At the time with the Tundra I was right at my towing limit and 300 lbs over my payload though.

    Could be more to this story we don’t know. Could have hit a big dip in the road at speed, but very well could be overloaded with a minimum weight rated truck. Either way not good.

    Hard to tell from the picture but kind of looks like they hit a rough patch of road and the trailer came unhitched and landed on the bed. That generation of f150 had very thin sheet metal so it didn’t take much to crush like that. That generation of f150 also had some thin wall frames if the right option group wasn’t selected and even though they are fully boxed, were prone to bending just like the picture with enough abuse.
