Sled deck on 1/2 ton?

[Dawizman]

Not a sled deck or a half ton, but I saw a new Ram 2500 in Edson yesterday with a GVWR of 16,100KG on the door.

In what world is that a safe load?

 

[Beer Slayer]

That should be fun with no weight on the steers...

 

[turbonator]

LOL... This country is jammed full of dummies.......

We see dumb stuff on the highways here every single day involving 1500 trucks, a lot of the blame though should fall on the manufacturers; trying to make a 1500 sierra 6 bolt look like a 3500 monster truck...LOL

EDIT: What an awesome thread, 233 pages... I guess it just shows that you cant fix stupid....LMFAO...

It’s only 3 and it’s on a 450 if read all the comments. It’s a good idea but poor execution. He has it bolted to the roof.

Ouch. That is a poor idea. Wonder how long It'll last.

Airbags are a must but she handles two sleds with ease.

After 7 plus years on this thread are we still trying to say a 1/2 ton can carry 2 sleds and deck and gear and fuel, gear and people is legal.

 

[doorfx]

Yep....

 

[Chrisp1]

Speeding isn't legal...but we do it.

 

[Lem Lamb]

Absolutely !!!

I hauled 7 clowns and 2 elephant's with my F-150 and pulled a Chuck Wagon full of riding gear at the same time...

It was challanging getting the 4 horse team under the chuck wagon tarp and 4 drunk Kow boys into the box,,,

Of course the out riders didn't want anything too do with it since they like riding shot gun... Ha...

Yuppers,,, load heavy and stand on it,,, high speeds with lots of mass makes up for good times...

Todays new 150 can pack 3 sleds easy peasy...

The trick is too not slow down... LOL

There are some serious holes to your story.

Were you hauling these elephant's in winter? Reason I ask is because elephant's are warm climate animals and if subjected to a cold climate their bodies go into a sort of hibernation to preserve necessary body functions to continue until they are back to a warm climate.

Studies have shown that elephant 's can be acclimated to colder temps but would take years, so I guess if they are pets you might have taken the time to do this, but due to elephants on endangered species list it would be illegal to have one as a pet.

I doubt you would expose, this very punishable offence on social media, so I assume you were freeing them from a zoo or because of associated clowns maybe a traveling circus, in wich case good on you for making the world a better place.

Oh heavens no,,, the elephants came with the F-150...

They are standard options ...

Ha...

If elephants are protected,,, how come anyone that wants too hunt them in Botswana they can get a tag,,, $43 G for the 2020 season...

272 tags last year,,, not sure where you got your protected and endangered thing from...

Its challenging fitting them into the cab... LOL

 

[Lem Lamb]

Hunting elephant is great,,, and it helps out farmers and folks in need,,, Zimbabwe also has ford f 150 huning trips too...

Don't get too wound up over elephant jokes,,, hunting elephants and 2 sleds on deck on a f 150... Ha

How do you get 4 elephant's into a Ford f150...

Simple,,, 2 up front,,, 2 in the rear...
Trying too fit them into the glove box is challanging...

Much earlier too do when they are cut into stakes...

Savive Elephant stakes are awesone...

Yum Yum,,, and a person gets a 10% discount if you buy 2 tags at the same time...

Win Win for sure...

[Lem Lamb]

Does this mean we can't haul 2 elephant's and 2 sleds on the deck at the same time...

Of course the elephants would of been legally harvests under the Zimbabwe hunting rules...

Pretty hard too eat a elephant that's still alive... Ha...

Yum Yum... elephant roasts are the best...

Kind of nice to be able too harvest them legally in 2 countries while driving around in the mighty ford f150...

18 tons of good times will fill the box when we jam 2 of them back there... LOL...

At least it's not a Half ton.

[Grinder]

Looks like a teeter totter

 

[catmando]
