Accountant looks good to me. (It's original as far as I know). Affleck got too much crap for nothing in his career IMO, I even liked The Sum of All Fears. Hollywood hates him, so he can't be that bad, lol.

When did they start putting the max cargo and occupants sticker on the doors/jams? My trucks have never had that just the total gross plates. Buddy's F150 has that cargo sticker, only reason I know that his has it is he was showing me some chart that said his F150 could haul 3k. I called BS since that puts it in my dually territory, opened the door to check the vehicle gross and there was that sticker. Said 1500 or 1600 something not 3k lol, still want to know where he found that BS chart. Think he has a 2014 ecoboost.

They've been doing that for decades, except it was never in black and white. You'd have the gross vehicle weight rating - just subtracting a known cargo capacity, or vehicle curb weight would give you one or the other (curb weight or cargo capacity). They also always listed gross axle weight ratings, front and rear. Number of occupants has been there since the 80's, maybe even earlier.

 

 

That always bugged me. Just tell us the weight of the vehicle & cargo capacity! Keep it simple. Everything's always a big secret with the big 3. Would be alot safer knowing the actual weight of the vehicle and the actual cargo capacity. Glad to see Ford finally caught on. I've only been bitching about this for 3 decades ...

Really? We rented one(the current body style) and when our kids were rear facing. I'm under 6' and had plenty of room. Do you ride gangsta? [emoji38]

I definitely don't have that gangster lean when I drive haha. And at the seating position I used I had at most an inch between the seat back and the rear facing seat. It's not terrible but just hardly more compared to a compact car. But we did comfortably squeeze in a 9 year old nephew between the car seats so it's better in this regard.

 

Although Rav4 is a pretty bad ass little suv, I came back very impressed at by everything it does. Even with a 6 speed auto it averaged 24mpg with a lot of stop and go. But it was so quiet and comfortable, this was the best part.

Yeah we liked it quite a bit, but the plethora of their plastic was a bit of a let down. At least the 2014, the door panels were very similar to the 09 Corolla we had, hard and hollow. Toyota plastic is just a little too industrial IMO. But I guess that's what Lexus is for. Maybe that's why I like the flying bird brand so much, they found a nice middle ground.

Yes all that is on the metal plate or whatever. Known about that one for years like you said. I was asking about the separate sticker that specifically states occupants and cargo cannot exceed whatever weight is stated. No math required. I think it's on the new GMs too, I've seen people mention it here on the forums.

[Jsdirt]

Ahh, 10-4. I don't see many new vehicles anymore, aside from my brother's new Ram. Didn't notice the sticker - don't think I looked.

[MikeNH]

It's probably something that they had to make more obvious to save idiots from themselves. I have also seen add-on stickers that stipulate a reduced payload rating due to installed accessories "taking up" weight from the GVW. This seemed most common on stuff coming in from overseas and having the port install options.

[Jsdirt]

I hear ya there.

 

I knew common sense was a thing of the past the minute TPMS came out ...

Ugh. Just opened a can of 1893 Ginger Cola. Tastes like carbonated salad

We seem to have a pet toad. He has been hanging around our back porch for over a month, and leaves surprisingly big turds on our back porch(we know because my boys saw it one day). Our dog has never had an issue with frogs, and when she is inside we have caught him chillin in her outside dog house, on her blankets. Our boys love seeing it around (frequently), and judging by the presents its leaving it is eating well. (Absurd amout of crickets this year.)

Yep the Original stuff is dope. The Ginger stuff, not so much

I have a 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 crew cab it's has 285/75/18 nitto's on it now with a leveling kit up front. It scrubs a little and I'm thinking of the rc 3.5" lift with 2" wheel spacers is this a good idea?
