Informed truck owners know everything there is to know about their truck. Yet, so many are still mixing up the terms towing capacity and payload. That is why we here at Matheny Ford located right here in St. Marys want to ensure that you recognize the difference between these two commonly mixed up terms.
First, both of these terms do have to do with weight but they interact with weight in very different ways. Towing capacity is the maximum amount that can be pulled by the truck with maximum payload is the amount of weight the truck can carry in its bed without damage.
If you have any additional questions about truck terminology or would like our experienced service team to perform any kind of work on your truck, then be sure to either give us a call or stop on by Matheny Ford located right here in St. Marys at your earliest convenience.
