Sled deck on 1/2 ton?

[adamg]

I think we've all learned so much from this thread.

I'm a bit confused. I am not sure I have the right axles anymore!

A few weeks ago there was a Land Rover pickup from SK with two sleds on a deck. I didn't get a real good look at it but it seemed to sit level. I wonder what the weight rating is on one of those.

You need a TA axle

Old Fart needs a beaver not a TA axle.

How many beavers could you stack on a deck on a half ton before being overloaded?

well I really don't know? slim beavers or well fed? in a long box or shot box? would this be a chevy or a aluminum ford. would the 1/2 ton be going up hill? I will need some time to ponder this dilemma. may take a pile of beers, i'll likely forget the results and have to do it all again. oh why me!!!!!!

Depends on what is in it. My last dodge 1/2t towed my 16' enclosed no problem. The extra 10' doesn't add that much weight. BUT like i said it depends on what is in it.

I have a Ford F-150 SuperCrew 6' box 5.4L and have towed a 28' Aluma with 5 sleds, full gear, 4 not light weight boys with no problem numerous times.

Definitely not as efficient on fuel as a diesel, but the room in the back is a bonus.

Just saw a Ford Raptor on HWY 1 pulling a 26ft enclosed.....
That's good right? Lol

Honestly don't see how bad that would be. What's a 26' enclosed weigh? 2500-3000lbs and even if he had 5 sleds packed in at 650lbs a piece that's only 3250 for a total of 6250lbs that's about what my 23' travel trailer weighed and you wouldn't have batted an eye if I passed you hauling that with my old Titan.

According to ford the raptor is good for 8000lbs still 1750 left

Kinda what I was thinking. Maybe it was an all aluminum trailer. Maybe he had equalizer bars on it too....

Don't know for sure.
Headlights were pointed straight in the air.

Just made me laugh.
Have the 30k trailer.
Have the 75k truck.
But why not buy the 75k truck made to pull the trailer.........
I mean don't get me wrong, there probably is lots of Baja racing in Saskatchewan.

See a lot of 1 tons pulling trailers with their lights pointing up as well. But I guess that is okay.

That's cause they put a "leveling" kit in their Dodge and didn't readjust the headlights after they put the HID's in.

I've seen retards driving down the road with NO load in/on the back of the truck and they already looking like they're humping a dog. Some guys just think it looks SO "cool".
