Lets ruin shifty's dominance in the working forum hahaha
haha well since shifty seems to be the only person with a thread in this section i decided to start one for fun....:banana::banana::banana::banana:
:ll: |
This forum is pretty slow as of late... Let's make sure we stay on topic and not go the General Discussion route. :)
|
ha yep i've noticed, and to keep this thread on topic i guess i should put a question in it.
So how many of you guys actually go to the limits on the trucks towing capacity? tells us what you've towed and pics are more than welcome. |
The last heavy load I have in my truck was a month ago and that was 2400lb of 1-1/4 roofing nails other than that its golf clubs.

I'd hate to mow that lawn when you was done roofing. I bought 50 lb box of fencing staples in 1992. The box still weighs about 38 lbs. |

My work truck...
I'll play...
Here is my truck towing about 7500 lbs. of boat and trailer: https://www.f150online.com/forums/me...quite-well.jpg and here it is hauling 1 1/2 yards of mulch this past spring: https://www.f150online.com/forums/me...ards-mulch.jpg oh and here it is hauling some firewood this past winter: https://www.f150online.com/forums/me...-gate-here.jpg I work my truck a lot, I just don't always think to take pics and when I do it's with my crappy cell phone. :ll: |
That is oak loaded on the bed to give you some idea of how heavy the load really is!

Interesting thread here but I vote that everybody go back to giving Shifty hell for overloading his truck. It's become a custom around here plus it's just plain fun to do.
By the way (and back to this thread) I try not to go to the max on payload or pulling capacity on my '06 F150 with a 5.4/3.55 rear gears/towing package. I'd rather haul in two loads or just get a Super Duty. I have gone slighty over on pulling capacity but only twice totaling about 90 miles. The truck seemed to handle it better than your average 1/2 ton pickup. Am I as naughty as Shifty? Yes and no...I've overloaded the crap out of 1/2 ton pick-ups before but I haven't done it to this paticular truck I drive now. |
Most I've ever done was about 2.5-3yds of mulch for work.
Here's a couple pics of it after I had unloaded some already: http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/700/p6050541.jpg http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/253/p6050540.jpg |
wow! Ford working hard!

Most i've had in the bed was around 1.2k lbs of a tree the day after I got the truck. Unfortunately the pictures got lost with the old phone. Haven't had much close to that so haven't taken pictures of anything else when its loaded down.
|
When I'm at my farm in Ocala, my bed is usually filled with gas cans, tree limbs, or whatever else I can think of. Down here in Orlando, I'm the only guy in town with a truck it seems, so I've been getting calls all the time the last few weeks helping people move.
