Just out of curiosity, how much has anybody hauled in their truck?? no fibbing here, i am sure some of you guys that are in the construction industry have had some heavy loads.

 

My experience with Ford is you better get the owners manual out of the glove box and read it before you believe the sales lit. When I bought my '04 Ford the towing capacity was 12500lbs, then I got home and read the owners manual and my exact truck was really only 10300lbs. The point I am making is read the very very fine print and you will see a different story. My current truck has a GVWR of 9000# it weighs around 7000 empty, therefore I have 2000 lbs capacity. I don't know how much it weighed, but I have been hauling firewood (green oak) from my friends house to mine. I stack it on and fill the bed up to the rail and crown it a little higher in the middle. This load sits my truck down to within 1.5 - 2 inches off the snubbers. I'm guessing I might be a little over the 2000lb mark. No problems hauls it just fine. Don't believe all you read.
