I currently own a Power Wagon but I'm looking at trading across for a 2500.
I've browsed several different TC brands and models with everything coming up (that the wife and I find except able) with a wiggle room of about 700lbs.

I'm tracking you want about 1000lbs to play with, so my question is this:
Can I add bags or a leaf to safe take that extra weight?

The truck is an amazing deal if everything works out, otherwise it's save up for a 3500/350.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ultimately my wife and I want to do what my Mother in Law does, hop and in the truck and go! Except we would have a boat or a bike behind the truck.

Side note, looking at an F350 long bed now, I think I'm heading the right direction.
