Built Ford tough!
Here is a severely overloaded truck I had back in the late 90's. It is a 94.5 F Superduty (F450) PSD that weighed, 11,800# empty and a GVW of 15,000#. The backhoe on the back weighed about 15,000# by itself, so with the driver, was loaded to about 27,000 pounds on a 15,000 pound GVW. Nothing broke bent or cracked. That was one tough little truck.... I would NEVER consider doing anything that stupid again though!

That truck actually had great brakes, it was the corners that were hard. It wasn't very stable when turning!

That was taken in Ft. Wayne, IN. You can see the power station in the background.
