In Reply to: Ton Truck Question posted by Bill VA on March 26, 2017 at 04:47:51:
I don't have an answer to your question about the one ton truck, but I do have a recommendation. I thought about buying a small dump truck. It's enough work to load something, why should I unload it when I can push a button and all the work is done? Then I researched insurance and licence plates on a dump truck. Thought about the repairs keeping an old truck running. That's when I looked into a dump trailer. How much an empty trailer weighs, payload, how much my truck can handle. Decided on a 10k dump trailer that empty weighs about 3k, payload 7k. I've found out I can very easily pull a 6k load at high speeds without getting white knuckles.
So, if you are thinking you only need to carry one ton, get a dump trailer. Mine has a 6x10 bed. I use mine all the time so much so in 6 years I had to buy new tires. My trailer came with a heavy duty deep cycle battery which only lasted about 30 months, second battery same story 30 months. I'm now experimenting using two car batteries instead of one heavy duty battery. I think I've made the right choice. Time will tell how long they will last.
Check out a good dump trailer with twin cylinders and a combo tailgate. I'm glad I did. geo
