Here's a load of wood I grabbed from the bush this winter. Not the biggest load ever, but not small either

Pull up some Iron Horse Mud Ranch vids on youtube. I'm sure y'all have awesome trucks too. Fun to watch.

My sister broke down in her2012 Chevy Traverse LTZ (6,411 empty) in Gatlinburg, so I had to go tow that POS back 190 miles to VA. Had 5 people in the truck with luggage + 1000lb trailer. So around 9000lbs +. Got about 8mpg though. Pulling a random F450 boom truck we found in a 2ft ditch. Lol the door was open so my friend threw it in neutral and we gave it pull it out. This was during the snow storm. Video Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KU5M2C1LcQ Attempting to get a 70,000lb loaded semi, off the guardrail, in a ditch, in a snow storm. We almost get him at 1:19 seconds. No we were "not" drinking lol Video Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u878apczr0A
You got your money out of that truck. Sounds like you have some epic stories!
