Sled deck on 1/2 ton?

[Joholio]

How many welders are on here all I want to say is with 2 sleds your only 4-500 over weight my welding rig is 1ton over weight like everyone else welding trucks give or take a few hundred pounds and my front end stays on the highway and handles just fine! Welder is in a 1 ton but still thats 2000 pounds over! Trucks are way under rated like everything else!

No kidding... I see 2500 diesels with a big ol 300D jammed in sideways, 2 sets of torch bottles, rod, cables and reels, extra steel, tools and tool boxes, table and vice, hungover helper, beer cooler, cab full of **** and a microwave... Run er!... She's all good!!! Lol

I've seen a pile of half tons this year (obviously with airbags) two sleds or quads on a deck. Fish cops must be letting it go again cuz there's no way in hell 2 sleds, gear, couple riders full fuel tanks ect would be with in gvw. Even a 7700 gvw f150 would be tight at 5800 lbs empty with 200 fuel, 200 gear, 400 occupants, 400 deck, 1200 sleds is 8200.

Had a 2000 gmc 1500 with bags. 2 sleds and gear. Got pulled over few years back in bc. Not a word was said. He did do a walk around. But think my bags and new tires and the fact I had all emblems taken off helped. Short box to with a 8x8 deck. Ran that set up for years.

The newer 1500 dodges got a payload of 3150 pounds depending on model i dont think your gear and 2 sleds on a deck would weigh more then that

The newer dodge 1500 has a 3150 payload so i dont think your gear and 2 sleds depending on sleds would be over weight with a deck

Maybe on a 2wd regular cab long box. If you want a quad cab, 4x4, leather, nav, heated/cooled seats; kiss that payload number goodbye. All truck manufacturers advertise the model with the highest payload.

Does air bags and winter tires help out?

Weird, biggest number I see is 1780 for the 2015's.

2 sleds at most are 1200 2 people say 400 to be safe and gear ill say 1000 but it would definitely be less then that the the deck is 300 thats 2900 so i should be good im aloud 3150 payload

 

[Patrick Drover]

Yup that is in kg noe lbs

What type of dodge 1500 do you have?????? I was just on there website and a crew cab sport with the 5'7" box only has a payload of 1417 lbs. I would check and double check before you decide to go with a sled deck on you 1500.

Also, do you think a truck that weighs 5800 is safe to drive with 3000 lbs of payload. there is a reason why 1/2 ton trucks have a low payload numbers.

I have a sport half ton, and even if it said that the truck is capable of 3000 lbs of payload i would never do it. Just my 2 cents!!

Last time I checked lbs was pounds. Better check your numbers again. Maybe you have 1500 lbs caacity and you think its kg's?

 

[X-Treme]

Highest payload I can find for 2013 4x2 longhorn is 1320lb or a 4x4 longhorn is 1090lb. Don't forget to account for fuel as well.

 

[Adren-junkie]

Nope it's lbs, and no where close to 3150. And this is a reg cab V6.

Ya i was wrong on the payload went off the wrong chart 2400 is still enough though just have to get all my gas where ever im riding both sled are 1000 then gear at most 300 and deck 300 me and a buddy 400and fuel for the truck i would be real close to my limit im going to load the truck and go to a scale i was in bc with it last year never got stoped passed lots of cops would like to keep it under just incase though

 

[rsaruk]

Where you getting 2400 from?

 

[Patrick Drover]

Ya i was looking in the wrong dpot on the chart ok ya the payload is definitely not that much so when you go to a scale to they go by your payload or gcwr

 

[Patrick Drover]

I have 2 sleds on there sll the time in alberta never ever had a problem since i put the bags on dont even know tge sleds are there truthfully so so that way i see no problem but rules are rules and bc is sticky so this is why i want to make sure of these things
