Almost maxed out the GVWR today, truck didn’t mind at all
So I had to pick up a pallet of salt to take to a customer 4 hours away. With everything else in the truck, it’s right at ~13,500 lbs, probably closer to 13,800 lbs with my helper tagging along. GVWR for the truck is 14,000 lbs.
Truck barely squatted and handled the load fine. The truck is obviously a little slower to accelerate, but it’s really not bad at all. It doesn’t feel much different than usual (usual weight is just under 11,000 lbs).
there is a FEW 'k' planned in.. go you were Good..
on the other hand.. yesterday... a tired F 150... with a pallet of roofing shingles.. stacked higher then the cab.... riding Hard on the bump stops... bouncing down the road :WOW....
I had my truck at 14,400 before it felt soft but it held the load real well.. my f350 is gvrw at 10k but it's the 3 leaf with helper spring so probably identical to yours.. good to know it can do the load without an issue.
My last 2 CCLB F350 SRW were loaded to max GVWR 24/7 when I had the 8.5 utility box cleaned out then I would load it down with that days job, it took it without any complaints but because it was a SRW it was hard on rear tires.
A F350 can handle a heavy payload. Mine has Timbrens for assist. 5 to 7k, no problem. I once hauled about 9k lbs. from Houston to Louisiana. Was happy to get it off, but the truck did it.
The shipper SAID it only weighed 6k.....they lied !
