Thinking
On an F150, I'd settle for 1 ton.
3/4 would be a definite help.
My boss had a place that would de-reg a truck, legally, to under 26.000 lbs, so a "normal" could drive it. So upgrades, in some states, would need to see a door sticker or such.
Cannot find, 80,000 ton.
Michigan has the highest truck weight limits in North America, that can be utilized on a regular basis, with a limit of 164,000 lb gross weight limit, and truck trailer combinations limited to 11 axles.
BTW - That's about 80 ton....82 to be exact.

C'mon... Ain't 01 Apr. 8000 lbs is over a Deuce 'n a Half, at mebe 12T GVW. But a 150 has a hard time finding a camper light enuf. Be useful, good and helpful buddy. How do we all add 500-1000 lbs, (not Sterling,) and - get a legal sticker for that? Mebe imposserous, or the 7700 would not be taller, which seems to be the frame height. Makes sense.
I MIGHT be available to write, if you can find a place for me. Fix them thar typos 'n all that... Know whud ah mean?

Well, towing is one thing. I'm desirous if more carrying capacity. Few campers are light enough for a 150. Some states will see an outta state plate and go out of their way to ticket you. And really, there's just no extra margin. The 250-Light Duty, aka, 150- Heavy Duty, which became the 7700, was a nice in-between idea. I've only seen one, and it was for sale. A lot of bed room was lost to the CNG tank, it being dual fuel. I don't need a 250. But a 150 is just 500 lbs too light... sometimes. Old days, I wuda done it. Now, any accident, they'd hang you just on that minor "overload."
MAYbe, one day I can upgrade the front discs to vented and dual pucs.
