He is sitting down in 75-80 deg weather right now while we are going under winter weather watch for tomorrow morning.
You can play "crack the whip" with that rig!

I am a member there too, and the weight police are rampant. U r almost afraid to ask a question for fear of being slammed. The old farts should just zip it and go camping.
Look at what we towed before the yellow stickers came out!
Now I'm off to buy a F450 to pull my tent trailer. Or mayb a hiway tractor to have a safety margin for all the shoes my wife takes, lol.
I'm done now.
