Based on what? The sticker on the door? Never mind that there's absolutely no difference beteween most 3/4 and 1 ton srw trucks today other than the registration sticker. But hey feel free to tell us how wrong we are! Btw the sticker on my 2012 on f250 psd says I'm within truck capacities with a 21,000 lb goose neck. Routinely pull 30000 lb of hay bales and trailer all over with out issue...not even close to being over on axel or tire ratings either. |

That's exactly right, John. We all overload the trucks. Oh yea, they will pull a lot more than they say they will, but stopping is a whole nother story. Electric trailer brakes help a little, but not so much when you REALLY need them. The next trailer I buy will have electric over hydraulic brakes. Much more dependable system. As far as brand of truck, they make different brands for a reason. I have always had better luck out of Ford trucks than Chevy. A lot of guys have better luck with Chevy or Dodge. It's all in what you are used to and like. But in reality, now a days, I would say none are better than the others. But it is still fun to poke fun at each other! LMAO!! |
