I want a 129 or 137 for spring riding. 146 is kinda a wtf length track imo 146 cam be real fun to ride though.

Test ride a Riot, absolutely a blast to ride.
As for the pickups being long or short boxes, long box always, its a pickup meant to haul stuff. Cars are for days you don't need to haul a bunch of big things.

taco with airbags he’s good.

payload rated at 1100lbs so 3 guys 600lbs , 2 sleds 1200lbs , snowbike 300lbs , deck 400lbs fuel in truck and jerry cans say 150lbs and gear 150lbs. Shoot he’s only 1700lbs over.... good to go.

That's too much for a Taco but a Hilux will take that abuse year after year lol.

buddy of mine had the exact same setup in the mid 90s. sleds were alot smaller back then, we didnt even bat a eye at it.

Does anyone really care if their pickup is 300 or 500 pounds over gross?
Big corporate lawyers make sure that those max weight numbers are very conservative.
Much like the tie downs rated for only 400 pounds, that lift a 2800 lb cement block on the backhoe bucket no problem.

With my old 1/2 ton I never would of worried about it from a safety standpoint, you drive to the conditions, I also set it up with E rates tires and air bags. I was more so worried about the ticket tbh

When **** hits fan you might not worry but you will be #k'd.
Insurance will look for any out and liability is ever increasingly a litigeous matter ...

In the last week I have seen 3 different ford F150s with sled decks on them. I have been reading this forum for a while and never seen one. Didn't really think people would temp the fate of the courts and police. Look at that I'm wrong again.... all those brave people. Gives us something to talk about
