There's 11 pages of my life I'll never get back! Some good points but a lot of people missing the real technical numbers and the definitions. Some people need to get into the manuals and read what all those abbreviations stand for and how they are supposed to be used. The "true trucker" dudes on here have got it down pat! Us "wannabee truckers" have a lot of learning to doo.
I have gone from a 2500HD 6l gasser (it was under with two sleds and the flat deck but not by much) to an F350 6.2l gasser with a flat deck just for the peace of mind. There is much more payload for the gassers over a diesels. With an 8' box 4x4, one is pretty much guaranteed to be within the safe hauling limits with the 3/4 and 1 tons.
Surely, after 11 pages the horse has been flogged enough...........
Yes but I have seen you drive Doug you still are not safe even with that new fancy one tonne :d (just kidding) thats for posting that picture of me stuck. I went from a 2500 dodge, two sleds and gear, 5.7 hemi just made it under. I now for several reasons have a 1/2 ton ford air bagged equiped with a deck, I will only put one sled on it, so will you if you are smart, in a bind I will carry two a short distance but for anything outside my little area I will use a trailer. It's simple math boys be smart
