Way too heavy, again if it felt unsafe I wouldn't be doing it. But paper tells all huh? I have purposely but my truck in fake evasive manuveors on the highway to see how it would react. Something I would have attempted with my crew can 2010 f250 srw 5.4, that truck just felt unsafe. But go figure, the f250 was rated at a whopping 9600lbs towing, something. I should have checked before purchase.

I'm gonna go rip some tags off unsold mattresses, to give you guys something new to talk about. Btw towing a boat at 15 is illegal, what were you thinking? Should we start a new thread about that?

Seeing that we are bragging, I used to be an equipment. Rep for snap on and towed a car hauler full of equipment 50k miles a year for 6 straight years, not too mention being a boat owner for 20 years now.

I will admit there is a prob a better choice for a tow vehicle for me, but for a tow vehicle and a daily driver I believe I am driving the best overall choice that fits all my needs at this time. Most tows at exactly .1 miles to my lake which I live on. And my long tows are 100 miles tto the 1000 islands, which I am doing this weekend and have complete confidence in.

So just to recap for the captive audience. Truck has air bags, big brakes, class 5 hitch, and lt 10 ply tires. I'm thinking about getting an even smaller truck just to keep the thread going? How about one of those s-10 blazers?

I will weigh the whole rig on Friday and post back with pics for ya'll, I am curious.

Mild thunder, you're a trouble maker...get back in the magic room :D

What is the true weight of your boat a trailer, loaded with a full portapotty?

Crew cab srw? What hitch? (My f350 HD edt diesel came with a. Class 3 for some reason)

What does you truck come in at, with all your stuff in it?

If I was a lawyer could I find fault in your rig if you wiped out on the highway? Give some thought to that.

You guys should thank me in reality. I give merit to the ongoing hot topic here on oso. I mean, how could we talk about this if EVERYONE was towing within their rated capacity. For those that are I commend you, and will send each of you a free cookie if you pm me your address. For those that are not, don't be afraid to chime in, this is a discussion site and I could use some company...I know our out there, I see it every day. :D

An F-250 with a 5.4L shouldn't be rated to pull itself around. :stooges:

Funny thing is, I know most of the guys on this thread. I pretty much guarantee if we were all on the dock, we would be laughing and having a blast.

Gotta get back to my magic room now and throw some eagle cranks in the dumpster :)
