i was pulling a 6,000lb lift capacity forklift. so it had to weigh like 12 grand. i was surprised by how well the cab held up. you can see how it crushed the front, buckled the frame where the bed meets the cab, and the trailer shoved my hitch and bumper up into my leaf springs and lifted the back end off the ground for a second, yet both doors opened up as if nothing had happened. no air bag deployment, because we had slowed down enough before impact. just all the damage was from the momentum of all the weight.
