First big load

My load is bigger!




This is no load.

Im impressed with how much my truck didnt squat. The trailer was 2300lbs and the jeep was 3100lbs. These trucks are rated for 6500lbs with tow package and I could not imagine pulling 6500lbs, she chugged back the fuel, going up hill was hell and getting to 80-90kmh(50mph or so) was hell. If the road was flat enough I could get to 90kmh and the truck would rev around 1700rpm just nicely but the slightest hill would ruin my momentum.

 

A yard of mulch here is "We're gonna dump mulch all over your truck until it's overflowing". You'll get a little extra free on the roof sometimes.

The heaviest load I've carried lately was a love seat with ottoman lol. I towed an F150 a few months ago with no trouble.

 

was it an f150 dinky car? lol i wasnt impressed with my truck at all pulling the jeep

 

A ton of pellets in my first 2nd gen.

 

That's impressive! No way my stock 3-leaf pack could handle anything close to that...without riding the bump stops the whole time. By the way, truck looks sharp!

 

Truck looks good!

 

Saturday I picked up a pallet of 20x20 porcelain tile with about 8 bags of mortar, had to do it in two trips and each load maxed out the leafs and I road on the bumps all the way home. By far the heaviest loads I've carried.

Load capability of these trucks is shit for sure, but most it not all already know this. I have a trailer I could have used, but got too lazy to hook up. I won't do that again.

 

That's halarious.

 

that is the cleanest working truck i belive ive seen. nice yard, and truck

 

Looks like you have had the day star lift for a while. What are your thought so far.. i hear the spacer and block lifts aren't good.. I have your same lift in a box in my basement and am weary to install unless i hear that you are loving yours!

 

Cool that you're getting use out of it but that's not a big load. I routinely hauled 15-20 bags of portland cement in the 05 reg cab. They're 94 pounds each.

 

Nice truck! My '10 AC RWD is the same color, and has the same wheels.

 

Holy thread revival!

 

Its great when people use search isn't it ?

 

Yeah not used to that

 

This past summer. Truck handled great. My back not so much. Next time, Ill just have them deliver it to the front of my house. The up and down all day long sucked, and I did 2cu yards that day.

 

I recently hauled 15 bags of Sakrete, 80 lbs each. The truck reacted well I think. Acceleration was a bit slower (2.7L) and I allowed some extra distance for braking. I didn't notice if the springs were on the bumps but it didn't sag as much as I thought it would. When i would swerve a little like when entering a left turning lane, I could feel the back end sort of fish tale a tiny bit. Maybe the squishy sidewalls. Suspension was stock.

 

This one time, at band camp...
