Other than being able to seat my family of 6 comfortably, the other reason I purchased a Super Duty is for the amount of firewood I process and burn.

Does this load count as "working"?

Attachment 255242 https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.for...ba677b3c9d.jpg138 90+ lb retaining wall block plus heavy equipment trailer. Close to 20,000lbs. Pulled it great.

I wish it was mine. I was borrowing it from a friend. Actually I'm glad it's his. One less thing to store.👍

lol i got a couple non-self mobile vehicles to move... equipment trailer would be great for moving them...

spent all morning yesterday loading the 79 onto the 7ton rated trailer.... not sure how much the heavy duty trailer weighed.. but the 79 when it was new weighed near 5K.. well atm its holding all the parts from it along with the parts for the 85 that the good pieces from the 79 will be going into.. so pretty sure atm it equaled what Lil dually does.. with the trailer added in im sure i was pretty close to recommended max weight

about a 4 hr drive later.. normally its a 3 hr drive but was stuck staying between 55-60 with all that weight... trailer wasnt in the best condition either which is the other reason i kept it that slow.. even though the trailer has electric brakes on each wheel none were working when dad towed the 85 down with his truck.. before loading the 79 loaded i got 1 of the 4 brakes to work... the other 3 were dead as a door nail.. (which just an fyi the break away batter was also dead) 1 trailer brake to slow that much weight pretty much really didnt help... (yay for rented things) few steep hills i got pushed till Lil Dually's programming kicked in to use the "exhaust brake" (turbo vanes) to slow it down which did pretty good.. nice thing is had no one pull any stupid moves around me this trip like they normally do..

biggest fun of it was with the weight on the pintle hitch (first time ive ever used one) it was pretty much a tail wagging the dog run..

In the process of slowly moving.. So lil dually has been playing moving truck.. last trip had a bunch of boxes from inside the house and quite a few items from the garage.. (thats the new place in the background)

Its all fine until you get home and realize their is no forklift to unload the pallet!
About 2800 lbs of tile for the kitchen and entry way in 60 lb boxes

lol know that feeling... bought a full pallet of patio stones once... they loaded it with the fork lift.. i had to unload it by hand carrying them around the house and into the back yard... unfortunately i gotta do it again to move them all to the new house too since we pulled the majority of them up...
