this was the last load i hauled before installing 9" rear and redoing springs. most of it was unloaded prior to video.

1996 F250 XLT 7.3 Powerstroke. About 1,000lbs of trash and cardboard. Not much of a load, but it's something. That 7.3 is at 317,5xx miles, and still running strong. Love getting a chance to drive Powerstrokes.

I've always liked this thread, figured I'd contribute.

I know it's a crappy picture, that's about a 1/2 cord of firewood, not too bad for a half ton

This is "ol brownie" as I call her, pulling what I thought would be her replacement. White truck is an 87 4 wheel drive, 300 6, granny 4 speed truck. Brownie is a one wheel wonder, automatic 460 beast that I can't seem to let go. The white one gets better fuel mileage but I can't let the 460 go. Plus the brown one is 5 years newer and is much better looking to boot. Also I realized I don't like shifting lol

Also a side note, I've never had this truck squatted like this. I didn't think the white truck would make it squat so much. If I had a longer trailer I could have had it back farther and distributed the weight better but oh well. Work with what ya got

It's probably squatting more in the first picture because the truck is a lot less balanced than that wood, all the weight is up front in the engine bay.
