no he was really picky, he wanted a regular cab longbed 4wd truck that was red, preferably a duallie, i found him an o7 with a 6.0 powerstroke, instead he bought a grey srw chevy with a 6 liter
351 Cleveland I think our grandpa's used to hang out together lol. My grandpa had some contraption of a hitch welded up on the back of his 41 ford 1/2 ton pick up and used to haul tractors with it. Lmao if it fit in the bed or on the trailer it got hauled .
Things could be worse. Took this at beech bend dragway. That is a half ton and the trailer is stout. Steel 2 axle 3 car wedge. And get this all of those mustangs are powered by a sbc. I hate it when people do that.
The Super duty plays with that little trailer and is literally the only thing that makes the 3v v10 work, 60mph on 55mph road's isn't a problem so I don't get past every five seconds but getting up to 60mph (also not a problem) can burn a ton of gas depending on how I drive.
Looks like your truck handled the weight very well, it doesn't look like it sits a whole lot lower than normal then my super duty with that weight.
4000lbs of seed/fuel in back, it's hard to tell from that pic but it sits really tall in the back "stock" normally.
I have a 1995 f350 300 I6 dump bed,and I hauled 8600 pounds of gravel no problem. Did I know it was back there? Yes I did. I put her down into grandmother and rolled right on down the road though.
Just for a clarification,I didn't know I was that heavy until I weighed out at the rock quarry. I strongly discourage anyone doing this to their truck. It was a one time deal and I watched the loader a little more closely the next time I hauled out of there.
