Towed 21,000 pounds today

We are building a new outdoor area at home. I had to go get the block for the retaining wall. Trailer and block weighed in at 21,000 pounds. The truck did amazing.

Great looking truck and trailer! I love seeing these beasts towing heavy stuff, with how pretty they are I almost forget how capable they are. I can't wait to get mine and put it to work. My buddy (2016 Chevy 2500HD) and I (2011 F250) always compete to see who tows the biggest and heaviest work loads on the goosenecks with our current 3/4 tons.

I'm jealous, seeing your truck makes the wait seem even longer, my ETA is 12/10. I ordered a Silver/w Magnetic two tone Lariat with LED lights, cab lights and power running boards as well! I will also have the 295/65/20 Toyo AT2's, great tires.

Thanks. The truck is a F350 crew cab short box. And yes, I put on a Magnaflow filter back exhaust. It is for a 2016 F350. I had to cut the hangers off and weld them in the right places. The hangers has to be moved for the 4 inch longer wheelbase. The rest was in the right places

Did the filter back exhaust make any difference in sound?

Glad to hear it did well! Looks like you know how to load a trailer.

I'm curious to learn if the exhaust mod changed the sound at all as well.

Nice setup.

Is that the tire brand and size on SBB's truck?


If so, how did you know?


SBB how do you like that tire?

The exhaust made no difference in anything other than the looks. The tires are Toyo AT 285/75R18. I had then installed at the dealer. They gave me 600 towards the new tires.

All this talk of exhaust tips. Is it it the 6.2L gasser? I hear it's been massaged a little for 2017, but also has different transmission gearing for 250 vs 350. Any impressions?
