Think premature tire failure or wheel bearing failure. Cha ching.

Well stated about tire ratings.The G rated tires that come on them are rated for 16,320 lbs between the 4 of them. As the rig is going to come with a pair of 85AH group 27 AGM's (that's the best battery the dealership has) I will probably use an amp meter and battery monitor to do some real world testing before we upgrade the batteries. If we have the money for Lithium we may go that route for the weight savings.
