Basically all 2500 (3/4 ton) pickups are at a 10K GVW, so you don't have to play CMV games with them.

Having trucks to pull big loads is nice. Becoming more and more of a necessity for me though... I don't have a scale ticket, because I wasn't about to stop for a scale with these...

Hence the use of cranes! Lol...

I blame my participation in this thread on my newly acquired back issues...




j/k, but I've only ever had this much pain once before after I "bruised" a disc lifting weights in the Army. Home/self PT recovery with a profile for 4 weeks then at 25 years old. I surely hope this goes away, but I'm going on 5 days of the same pain level at this point. Doesn't feel too bad in the AM after getting up, but after sitting for more than 15-20 minutes, I can barely walk. Have to take a break prone in the recliner for 15-30 mins 30 every hour.
