That's the conclusion Andrew and I have come to as well. All the individual components (chassis, transmission, axles, tires, engine) have proven to be more than adequate to handle loads within the 42,000 pound combined gross weight vehicle rating specified by CC. The only question mark in my mind is what is the rating of the hitch? Is it stamped anywhere on the hitch? Can it be taken to a shop that tell us what the weight rating is for the application? Seems they could at least tell that the hitch can safely handle up to "x" pounds. As discussed earlier in the thread, I think CC didn't see a need to rate it for anything more than they did so that was the limit they applied.
