QUOTE(Jeeper4life @ Nov 30 2014, 04:59 PM) I'm extremely overweight (my truck and camper that is). Gvwr is 9900 and my f250 with a full load weighed 13,900. If you set up a truck properly you should not have too many problems. I have hauled 4500 miles this summer without any problems. It maybe just luck, but with 218,000 on the ticker it might just be a ticking time bomb. I just like my truck too much to buy a newer one so I'll probably just keep upgrading my truck until it starts to fall apart. I also tow my boat behind. I really feel that load. I think it puts me about 20k lbs. Dubob, I love the gooseneck setup you have. It looks like a quick way to unhook and the non top heavy setup. |

QUOTE(corsa180 @ Dec 2 2013, 09:57 PM) Did a search but could find any posts specific to my concerns. So, my Vanguard camper is approximately 3,000 lbs loaded on my 2002 F250 superduty crew cab. E rated Michelins .SRW Standard rear axle rating plus air bags and we have put about 14,000 miles on this set up with zero problems. That said, I would like to trailer my car to an event . The trailer weighs 1500 . The car weighs 2500 . I have confidence in the power of my 7.3 diesel and tranny. What I don't know is how much weight is on the hitch and therefore the rear axle of my rig. I should also mention that with my 1965 Corvair Corsa facing forward, most of the weight(rear engine placement) is placed on or behind the dual 3500 lb axles . Don't know if this actually works to relieve some weight from the hitch. So, anyone out there in the TC world done any towing that approximates 4000 lbs behind your TC? Appreciate any thoughts , experience or information on this. Thanks. I tow a 7000 lb boat/trailer combo behind my 99 f250 with my 4300 lb arctic fox 811 on the back of my truck. |

QUOTE(MooringProduct @ May 6 2011, 03:56 PM) Im a proud owner of an 03 F250 with a Powerjoke 6.0. You may have the mighty Cummins engine but the rest of the truck is nothing to beat your chest about. Here is a video to show you. (You can see my Torque lifts in the back) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yh4puTT-4Rs I have a 99 7.3 powerstroke that is an amazing truck! It hauls a big load and tows my boat. It always cracks me up when people always talk smack about power strokes when they don't know all the facts. Average rebuild of a 7.3 is 380,000 miles, and that's if you don't take care of them. As far as weight capacity my truck is rated at 9900 lbs. I haul a 2014 arctic fox 811 and tow my 25 foot chapparal boat behind it at 70 mph cruise set. It works well. Everyone should be proud of their trucks because they all serve their purpose. |
