I just did 150 miles grossing 22,500. Kept it just under 50mph for most the way and the truck did extremely well. I actually couldn't believe it.

What is the most weight you've moved with your 7.3?

 

I never really towed much with my 7.3. Heaviest was maybe 13-14k pound trailer weight. However, with my 2012 I did tow somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-25k pounds (did not weigh it) when I hauled 6 pallets of wet St. Augustine sod on a gooseneck. I borrowed the trailer from a friend and didn't find out until we got there that the trailer did not have brakes. I kept speeds very slow on that trip.

Here is a pic after we offloaded one of the pallets at a buddies house. Funny how when people find out you are getting grass they come at you with, "Hey can you pick up some for me too?"

 

I wish I got a pic yesterday, I tugged a tandem with a low boy with a D-10 dozer on it 2 miles to the shop, after the truck spit the govenor on the air compressor.

 

I pulled a 24,000 load with mine for about 60 miles. I'm around some relatively flat land. If there were any hills of significance on my journey, I would have been wishing for something other than a 3.73 rear end.

 

18k for 150 miles one way so 300 miles at70 to 75 mph with hills wasn't too bad

 

27,900 without me in the truck. It was on my way out of the Navy and I was actually worried I wouldn't have enough weight, boy was I wrong. Anyways 3.73 with 33" tires with stock injectors/turbo and a weak HPOP and I still managed 40 MPH up the passes and 70 MPH on the flats.

 

19,0000,slide in camper & boat, I drive carefully with this load.

 

I gross right at 21k with my camper. Hauled it around 13,000 miles sofar.
I once grossed close to 30k (hand calculated ) that's the load that killed my original trans.

 

Concrete igloos will do that, Frank.

I still remember those photos!

Ahh yes...

 

That's a lotta *****.

 

Think I watched mike rowe make them on dirty jobs LoL, artifical reefs?

 

Enormiss, i was thinking the same thing!!

 

That was the place I worked in Sarasota. Mike Rowe was there shortly before I started working there, so I missed out meeting him, but they still have the Dirty Jobs sign out in the yard on display.

 

My truck and 28ft cattle trailer weighs just a tick under 16k empty. I routinely haul 10-12k of cattle. I have hauled 16k of cattle before. That makes gross weight right at 32k.
