2700lbs of Lava Rock and Bricks....without breaking a sweat

I have towed my uncles bobcat skid steer loader the only way i knew it was behind me was that the surge brakes were wore out so the tonge of the trailer kept jerking. i have the 4.6 and a lot of hills to drive over.

 

And it isn't just computer generated either...it's the real deal:

3100lbs of limestone in the bed

Also hauled 7000lbs of 4X8 sheets of OSB on my 2500lb car hauler (over 100 sheets), 9500lbs total.

 

Here's my trucky squatting...

 

Had to pull my dad's boat out of the water once. It's a 29' SeaRay and I think it weighs around 8,000 lbs.

 

50+ paver stones, + 2 yards of wet clay dirt, not quite mud. The axle was less than 1/4" from the bump stops. It handled the load, but it was NOT happy...

I figure I had probably about 4K lbs in there.

 

with the suspension set up and all, i got tired of hauling the trailer with the welding equipment, and every weekend 5000 pounds or so of steel... got me one of these


6000 # deck capacity and better mileage than the pickup (average of 18 loaded)

 

For your sig you should get some ramps and drive the F150 on to the back of your Izuzu...

 

Dont know how much weight this was but I did have my truck loaded down pretty good..
16 sheets for 3/4" plywood
24 sheets of 1/2" plywood
40+ 8' 2x4's
10 10' 2x6's
There was a few other things also but cant remember...

pulled the weight fine but the ride was harder then normal.

i haven't had more than 1000 in the bed... but does anyone think their trucks rides a little better with a little weight in the rear... may just be me but i think mine does.

 

haha that was great

 

~2500 pounds of dirt/sod. i dont think a supercab is rated to haul this much, i went over a speed bump and all the weight pushed down on the springs and my left tailpipe bashed against the rear differential, denting the pipe. now i need to get it fixed because it is probably disrupting exhaust flow.







look how low its saggin

 

In the bed? ... Just my dirt bike and gear...

Trailered?... I just towed my Mustang on a 3000lb trailer (with my dirt bike in the bed of the truck) got insane good gas mileage too.
