Well now, you know that things spin here, just like every where else! LOL I don't know about anyone else, but I have spun the wheels with my trailer hooked up trying to move it, imagine a 300K trailer and gunning the EB!

I'd love to see what payload that truck would have to pull 300k pounds .......assuming he's using a weight distribution hitch that has 10% hitch weight, he'd need a payload north of 30k.......I call BS lol

Secondly.....you go boondocking, where do you recharge your truck. LOL

With a 300,000Lb tow rating, get a bigger trailer that has space for 4,000Lb of battery.

So do groups of UPS employees every year, during the UPS plane pull challenge. The year I participated, we had 10 on the rope.

Pfft I pulled a full grown willow out of the ground with my F350. Pulling something with wheels is a piece of cake compared to that.

Pulled over many a large pine, sweet gum, and oaks with my 01 SCREW and Mile Marker winch. Still working on mounting a hydraulic winch on my 18 though.
