the initial numbers are correct, but their usage defies known knowlege and logic
- One does not subtract the GVM from GCM, obtain the tow capacity (this bit is correct), AND THEN Conclude that there is no payload (this bit is wrong, because the payload is inherent in the vehicle GVM)
- One needs to subtract the towball mass (actual measured) to know what payload remains when at max GCM, (not the failed math as above)
