i had to argue with a guy at a stone place one time because he didnt want to put two pallets of brick pavers in the back of my truck. each pallet was a little over 2k lbs and it handled it like it wasnt even there. i stopped at lowe's on the way home to buy some lumber and got behind a guy in a chevy of some sort. he had it loaded down with 2x4's until the back end was almost dragging the ground. we got started talking and he was telling me that my truck may hold the weight better but his would pull it faster, etc. so we pull out on the road and he punches it....... and leaves every one of those 2x4's in the middle of the road where he didnt have them tied down

I built a 12x16 shed not too long ago. I had 4 full carts from lowes. Al the materials: studs, T1-11 siding, sheeting, windows, doors, shingles, and truss materials. Everything but the slab i poured. They all said I was nuts and it would never fit. Well Iproved them wrong. I still had a lot of spring left. Man did that make me feel good!!

When I first loaded my 22000 lb telescopic forklift on my gooseneck with a 20' bed I was worried about the back dropping too far because I'd have to drive it ahead too far on the trailer. It seemed like once I got so far ahead no matter how much farther I drove ahead it just sat there. I was amazed. Wouldnt even get to the overloads. It sits damn near dead level even with that big-*** thing on there!!! My dads 03 super duty isn't near as strong as mine. We pull a 32' bumper hitch racecar trailer with both and when he first got his we needed to put the 4" spacers off of a 99 to keep the back end up. Hook it on mine, drop an inch maybe, go like hell.

one that i hate to admit that i saw was a guy in a 97'ish body style f150 that probably wishes he had a 250....... he had just pulled out of lowes with a stack of plywood that was a foot or two above the top of his cab. im not sure exactly what he broke, but one side of his bed was sitting about a foot lower than the other side and his bumper was about an inch off the ground.
