so that means your load was slightly over 10k.. I had my biggest load the other day. Hauling a 32' inclosed car hauler with a mustang, tool, tires, and 2 55 gallon drums of c16. Total weight was 17,694lb on the scales..

Transfer station scales say 3300kg or 7280lbs. Hauled this setup with 6 people, big dog, and camping gear through the mountains to Tofino this summer. Pretty slow heading up hill but truck did very well. Was very careful to manage my speed as that is a lot of weight for the brakes. Truck has stock 3.31 gears which are too tall with the 32" tires. Hoping to switch to 3.73. Also installed thicker rad from a 5.4 truck for extra cooling.
