You also have to figure the physics of the load overhanging the bed.
That increases the weight factor exponentially.

We learned that in fork truck training, no matter the weight rating of the truck, a load weighing within the rating will exceed it the further out the load extends on the forks.

There's a formula in our handbook for it, I don't remember it, it's like trigonometry.
If you don't compensate for the dimensions of the load, the more likely you are to bend the forks or tip over.

the listed dry weight for that camper is 4,917 lbs

so probably true.

just like a stealer to both be wrong and also attempt to rape him over it.

Common sense should also apply.
You can't always believe what someone says when they're trying to sell you something.

I guess I didn’t zoom in enough on BC’s gouged rim photo. Or is that a newer style TPMS sensor? Lays flat when pressure drops.

A customer brought a car in to our shop once with a loud whistling noise.
Someone had stuck a little prank whistle thingy in his tailpipe.

Non-round steering wheel, hybrid, and blue interior...new Corvette E-Ray hybrid. It's either all gas or all EV.

Love the C8 but not this interior.

They're trying to emulate a cockpit.
With all the Vette crash videos that might be the ejector seat handle under the screen.
