Those are some pickups...


350/3500 series DRW an up handle them just fine. The "1 Ton" isn't 1 Ton
any more, they are quite a bit more.


Yep. I hauled a load of landscape stones a few years ago in my '96 F350
single-track. Then we hit a few garage sales on the way home.
Later calculated the load at 3750 lbs. Could have easily hauled more if
the tires could handle it
