My Ford had an opportunity to impress a few guys today at a steel mill where I picked up two large gearboxes (~2,000 lbs each) in the bed, plus the heavy fan hub and all the fan blades in a trailer.
They doubted it could handle one gearbox in the bed, let alone two... I knew better, though.
With the 4.10s I didn't even feel any load while accelerating... even going uphill. Only on bumps could I notice the truck was loaded.
(FWIW, one such gearbox is enough to have my Z71 Chevy squat close to having the rear wheels touch the fenders.)

its been awhile since ive posted up my truck. ive changed a few things but nothing major. im hoping you guys appreciate the ford sticker i added to my back glass 
i got a si/do setup with a 40 series flowmaster off a kid here in town for 60 bucks i should have on by the end of the week. ill be sure to post up some pics of two shiny pipes coming out the back then.
