Merchant response: Thank you for writing to ask. The specifications, our 2013 Annual Catalog and NER all agree with 5,500 lbs. The online description appears to be out of sync. Based on your input we are immediately reviewing the product presentation. If there's anything more we can do in this regard for you, please consider contacting our Customer Care Department at 1-800-262-8464 so we can try to resolve your problem.
