They make these wonderful things called air bags for hauling and also weight distributing hitches so you don't squat the truck when hauling a brick of metal.
I will honestly say, when I was buying this truck I didn't expect to use it as much for work or play as I didnt for family purposes with ability to move couches and kids bikes and our 4 wheelers. Hence why I bought a decked out super crew Lariat package vs saving some beans and getting a 4 door XLT instead. Non the less I love the truck, and in reality, it is still a truck. Family has asked me to help with various things as you can see below. Had it barely over a year and use it a lot more than I did my S10 or old 1991 F150 regular cab I had. I've been glad I went with the 6.5' bed with the 4 door.
The wife's 2008 Outlaw 525 and a 1989 Kawasaki 200 KDX I just bought for $500. Not pictured is the 06 Polaris Predator 500 I normally ride.
Unloading
On a job site. I'm an Electrician. Normally use van, but was easier to load and unload this 20' tall treated 6x6 from our sledbed than from the top of my work van. Was for a temporary service to power MDOT's fuel pumps while they tore down and build a new building.
Grabbing trailer to take boat out for the year. Sorry no pics of boat behind it. Random fencing for project at parents house.
Using front tow hooks to pull the wheeled dock and wheeled boat lift out of the water.
This is what it was pulling out.
Just came from a job site. About 5 miles of dirt road and melted snow. Like I mentioned before, I have a work van, but sometimes I take my personal truck for the 4 wheel drive.
Hauling a rented post hole digger. Also the aforementioned Predator 500 hiding behind it.
I'm looking forward to getting back into snowmobiling and having a proper truck (instead of trailer and a SUV) to easily haul it if need be. But I also now live 1 block from the trail vs miles like when I last owned a snowmobile.
