In Reply to: Ton Truck Question posted by Bill VA on March 26, 2017 at 04:47:51:
Have a 1981 F350 dually with a crysteel dump bed with a fold down side. Handiest truck ever. No way would I ever have a regular factory bed or a flat bed. Door sticker says 10,000 gvr or gvrw ? IIRC truck empty weighs around 5,500 ? Hauling 3 ton of stone in the back is a nice load to put in there. That being said when I left the gravel plants hauling mainly driveway limestone I would get up to 5 ton in the bed ! Truck handled it and did not break in half. It was a LOAD but all went fine. I just stuck to more back roads and did not try to get in a hurry. I have also used it to pull a gooseneck trailer. I have no idea how heavy of loads I had on it ! There were a few big ones though. The trucks made today like 450 and 550 with disc brakes all around should really be able to handle loads well.
