I'm really curious how much weight is actually on those front wheels. Must be one soft suspension.

I’d say 200 lbs...

I would love to see how that trailer was loaded. If it was full of sleds they might have wanted to load the sleds in backwards. Just imagine the pressures on the truck frame. Someone posted a picture recently of a bent truck frame because of an overloaded trailer.

Likely at least 2 lbs more than the local drug dealer with his bald front tires on a 89 honda civic.

Well let’s be serious here.... stance is for tuner cars not trucks! Lmfao (all jokes) but this guy should not be traveling anywhere how he is loaded.

now please all of you f150 owners with the max tow package (or what ever you want to call it) please chime in and tell me that he is underweight and totally legal. Maybe the projector lights with this model auto adjust becaus it is such an epic tow rig???

BUY A DIESEL AND GET THESE TRAILER PULLING CARS OFF OUR HIWAYS!

Quite a bit bit of difference between 2 dudes sitting beside each other in a reg cab with their sleds on a deck heading out sledding for the day carrying bare minimum’s compared to 4-6 dudes sitting in a lifted f150 that might as well be sitting on “P” rated tires and dragging a 5-6 place enclosed behind. heavy duty or not at some point we just have to admit we are in over our heads.

If it has mud tires it’s good to go .
It looks like they took the mud tires off and put the stockers back on . Part of The problem is they are using an 8” drop hitch instead of 2” drop( trailer jack probably wont crank high enough to fit onto ball). That would help level the trailer and take some of the hitch weight off and help get the pink grill closer to the ground, lol.
