This load isn't necessarily that interesting but I did earn twenty bucks for towing it a few hundred feet so that's gotta count for something. The guy who paid me for doing that said it weighted 3-4 hundred pounds, something tells me that's not entirely true.

26 foot tt. 4 wheeler and dirtbike in the bed. Most definitely glad I have the air bags. Sold the camper now, but was fun while I had it.

what mustang you got there andrew, a cobra?

So is the 8000# tow limit due to the rear end sagging or the power capabilities of the truck? I'm new to trucks.
