Working the F250 (Lightly)

Here is a picture of my son and I unloading a terramite backhoe that we rented to work (play) in the yard. The truck didnt even squat with the little loader (4000#s) and trailer hooked to it. My old F150 Heritage would have hit the deck with this load.



I would love to pull a bobcat or John Deere 110 around with my truck.

I've towed a bobcat excavtor 325 with my 05 SuperDuty 6.0L and the truck asked me if the trailer/excavator were still back there while cruising on the highway.

"I would love to pull a bobcat or John Deere 110 around with my truck."

A deere 110 tlb will definatley let you know it's there, you could do it, without any real trouble but I'd rather have a dually to tow one all the time.

The bedrails are putco they are actually for a 1997-2004 Heritage Shortbed f150 (my old truck) they fit fine on the superduty bed though.

The contractors who recently built our house pull a John Deere 110 around behind an 06 F350 Diesel 4x4. I second that as being the lowest looking superduty bed I have seen. Wow.

Are you sure that is setting low or is it just an optical illusion? There is still a lot of space between the fender and the tire.

I think that Fordlovin may be right the front of the truck seems to be on an incline while the back is pointed down towards a level part of land where the trailer is sitting. I would like to see that load on level ground.

Yeah, might just be an optical illusion. I see the well space, so maybe the truck was on an incline.
