what does the #'s 15100 17100 16500 mean on the tow page

 

Answered in the linked thread! Please don't crosspost.

 

glc, I can't tell you how many times I've seen you (and MGD) explain tow ratings, GVWR, payload capacities, tongue weight, etc. all over this forum. We just need to let you create a sticky tread with all inclusive details and then forbid anyone from ever asking again

 

I don't mind answering the same questions over and over again, because I realize people are either too lazy or too ignorant to use the SEARCH function, or even browsing through the forum indexes to read other threads on the subject. However, what gets real annoying is when someone hijacks a thread with a question, it gets answered, and then starts a new thread anyway.

Let it be noted that the OP hasn't acknowledged any of the answers to his question in the other thread AND has asked the question AGAIN here after being directed to the other thread.

Are all these issues because a lot of people are using their phones to read the forums and the mobile app is not any good?

 

That could be the case. I use the mobile app regularly, but mostly just to BS in general discussion. It's not that great (glitchy), but it does work most of the time (I'm using it now) and it does have a search function that works just like the one on the full website, so there's really no excuse there.

I think it really just comes down to etiquette.
