I think the owner's manual says 10,600 lbs. The heaviest weight I have pulled so far is just over 7000 lbs of round hay bales.

Sure did, the softer springs didn't react at all like I expected them to. The truck was still very stable at highway speed and cornering. The best part was when I got to the pasture I simply put it in 4-LO, engaged the lockers and tractored my way through the manure and mud out to the field where I unload the hay. First time I was ever able to do that without spinning out all over the place.

Regards,
Abrams.

I was thinking that same thing. Almost reminded me of that Silverado HD commercial where the big 3500 is churning through the mud at the construction site, only better.

If my old 77 Power Wagon with 2 barral carb 318 could pull 8000 lbs, I'm sure the new ones could do better than that.
Haven't driven the new ones, but would like to.

Not to jack the thread but speaking of rediculous commercials who here has seen the one where that Ford pulls the semi out of that tunnel? Puuulllleeeeeezzzzeee, I have driven the new Ford 6.0 diesels, they have enough trouble getting out of their own way. One word (and it rhymes) TURD!
