I dought most people drive around with a ton in the back of there truck most of the time. I use my trucks and often and put an engine, trans and rearend on it, probobly 1200lbs max and not for far. 220ft lbs rating with a 130hp 235 seems plenty strong to me. I however like to throw a cooler and picnic basket in the back and drive 2-300 miles on a weekend so the T-5 makes sence. I Guess I might be the guinea pig on this one.
