If someone wants the best odds that it will last for at least a few years, probably 425-450 lb ft. Once approaching or crossing the 500 lb ft, the owner needs to be prepared for, or at least accepting of, the worst. Though I believe in most cases the VHR will handle 500-525 lb ft for a long time. But the operator must consider that mechanical wear and fatigue is cumulative and the effects of driving habits and operating conditions can exponentially accelerate the process.
