Summary
NHTSA urges consumers to not drive these vehicles unless they are going straight to a dealer to have them repaired immediately:
2001-2002 Honda Civic
2001-2002 Honda Accord
2002-2003 Acura TL
2002 Honda CR-V
2002 Honda Odyssey
2003 Acura CL
2003 Honda Pilot
Certain 2006 Ford Ranger (Ford advises do not drive)
Certain 2006 Mazda B-Series (Mazda advises do not drive)
New test data on the defective Takata air bag inflators in these vehicles show a far higher risk of ruptures during air bag deployment than for other recalled Takata air bags.
If you own one of these vehicles, search the Recalls Lookup using your vehicle identification number (VIN) to confirm that the vehicle has an unaddressed recall and needs a repair. If it does, immediately call your dealer to schedule a free repair. Replacement parts for these vehicles are available. Additional information is available here.

Just donโt use the word rating, because even if you take a Toyota Tundra and crush it, melt it down into a pot of molten steel, add more to the pot, then remanufacture it into a Kenworth W900, the original Toyota rating cannot be changed.

According to the geniuses here, I didnโt increase its rating.
And because an engineer didnโt tell me how to do it (as if heโd even know!!!) I obviously donโt know what I was doing.
I think if youโve never built a car or truck, you have little business giving advice on subjects like this.
You donโt know what the parts are and whatโs different and whatโs the same.
All you know is brochure propaganda.
On big trucks, you increase the rating when you add drop axles or a heavier front end and super singles. When guy upgrade the right things on a smaller truck, same thing.

thanks for beating up on me, I can take it but I think the last 3 comments are a bit over the top. I've upgraded my trailer axles from 5400lbs to 7200lbs my trailer tires from 15" 4ply to 16"6 ply upgraded my front rotors to dimpled and slotted my rear springs increased by 3000lbs have a 1200 lb safety cushion between the tow capacity and scaled fully loaded trailer weight. and for this I'm going to kill women and children get ticked by the police and blame manufacturers if something goes wrong. I guess this is why I don't facebook.
