Yeah, I think you should be fine with that setup, must just be the picture.

 

Here is a pic of my old f150 pulling my homemade trailer i built from my parents old trailer house. on it is an early 80s cop car and a 70s f150 with no engine/tranny. handled the load pretty well for how bad she is sinking

 

I saw this going down the road about a week ago. It what ever it was, was heavy, 1 pull truck and 2 pushers. tires everywhere. It was huge!

Looked like maybe a big bridge component or something. Must have been well over 100K lbs.

 

I've escorted those rigs, and usually a load that small but on a setup like that is a generator that weighs a bunch. Usually over 300,000 lbs.

 

Ya, the size isnt what gets me, its the weight. Its just a the size of super sized shipping container shipping container. This is the second set of these i'v seen down here. I Go to a&m and im wondering if they are some kind of equipment going into a new building on campus.

By the number of axles and tractors moving that thing, i would say its well over 300,000lbs, and closer to 500,000lbs atleast.

Normal 60ton heavy haul = 120,000lbs and require 28 tires under the load(not including steer.) This thing has well over a 100!

 

Hauled the Binder pulling truck today. Put him away for the winter. I ran across the scales at a quarry. Everything, 150 and all weighed 14,100 lbs. I have 30 lbs in the airbags. The 5.4 handles this load very easily.

 

11000lbs Keystone Laredo 5th wheel.

 

heres one...

 

Looks good spinella. Love the new wheels on there.

 

You cant do that with a 2WD....

 

thanks guys. thats beach camping at the east end of long island...montauk.

 

They still let you out on the beach out there? Cool. Last time I was on the beach out that way was on prom night 1988 with my best friend and our dates in his '59 ****** utility wagon.

 

yeah its a great time and still dirt cheap. we do it every year w/ 7 or 8 other familys.
