Hauled my first heavy load!!!



72 cinder blocks...it should have been close to a ton total weight.

I know this isn't NEAR the weight some of yall are pulling/hauling, but this was literally the most weight I have EVER had in my truck or my dad's truck. I was really impressed too...almost no body roll, and the power and braking performance was amazing. I know everybody talks about how much work these trucks can accomplish, but I had never experienced it to this level, and I was really pleased with the results.

I am just this much happier with my decision to go with this truck. I honestly have no idea how I was doing all of my work with a car before. I was really excited about this, and I thought I'd share with yall.

That kind of load is when mine starts to feel right driving down the road, not so harsh as when empty.

Hmmm maybe I should go get a ton of cinder blocks...I could stock up for about 10 years later when they're triple the price and I'm trying to spruce up my first house

That is honestly exactly how it rode...just a lot softer and more comfortable. You can tell these trucks were made to handle loads like this every day. I'm just sad I don't have a new load for it every day I drive it now!

Kind of amazing that a truck with over a quarter of a million miles can carry that load like it was nothing, huh? I've got almost 100,000 more miles on my truck than you have on yours and it still runs like the day I bought it with 19 miles on the odo.
