A double-axle car hauler is rated at 14k or so...a good stout truck can
easily handle 8k, altho over a grade you'd appreciate a 1T. And say if
it is limiting w/ a small PU and you only run a 500 gal tank/load, how
far is the haul? Still likely a cost-saver.

It's less than 5 miles from the fire hydrant but the grade is a windy 9%.
I never owned a pickup, nor a trailer, so I'm unfamiliar with what they
can carry.
