Post a pic of your woodhauler

[Wisneaky]

This isn't my woodhauler, but looks just like the one I have.

I had a 2006 that I loved, but the last 2 months of ownership (93,000miles) the Front Diff went, then the Transfer Case, and within a week of that, the Right Front Wheel Bearing, which also took out the Axle Seal, and ruined the new Front Rotors and Pads......Wife said (as the truck was on the lift) "Pick out a new truck".....that truck (2013 Silverado) had the frame get bent when I had to climb a curb because some idiot didn't see me in his mirror (1,800 miles), then around 16,000 miles had an Engine Knock that they had to call an Engineer from GM to look at....had the engine on the floor in pieces....fast forward to about 3 weeks ago, and 28,000 miles, the engine is knocking again....time for another truck

Sounds like you need to go visit your friendly local Ford dealer...

We've got a 2002 Tahoe Z71 with 95,000 on it and the most major repair has been a new AC compressor. It's been used for hauling loads and loads of calves and cull cows to the sale barn. Looks almost new and still going, we do all our own basic maintenance. Also have '91 Ford Explorer with 235,000 on it.

The dogs love to help.

Got a couple of them.

1999 JD790 with homemade carry-all box for moving around the property:


And this is a 2007 Silverado 2500HD with 16' trailer. Filled with straw here, but use to haul wood as well:

Turd polisher, eh?
I work maintenance at a WWTP

 

[crowescabin]

Yeah good eye. It's a steady job nice and stable, everybody has to sh!t. Been here 10 years.

 

[melloyello]

Here's my clunker. 88 s10 with the slowest 2.8 you could ever imagine. If I fill the trailer and 1/4 of the bed she won't get past 50mph but she has served my needs for almost 3 years now. I don't think the 32" tires aren't helping the lil engine either.

Here's my 68. I hauled 3 loads of Alder today. The last load I made some sideboards out of scrap I found at the site because I didn't want to make 4 loads.

Here's my 68.

Now that has some cool factor. Wrong truck, I know, but I started hearing the theme song from Sanford and Son as soon as that pic loaded.

 

[MDFisherman]

Here's big blue. 2012 ram 2500 with some bfg muds and a backrack.

Impossible to overload with wood.
I've had over 3 tons of gravel in the bed

How the heck can you hold 6k lbs without a dually. How can the tires even sustain that weight?

 

[2broke2ride]

You guys have big blue, I have old blue lol 87 D100 slant six auto. Way overloaded in this pic from last weekend, luckily I was only going a couple of miles. Helper springs are on the to do list.

 

[Ashful]

GVW minus curb weight (= "payload") on a Dodge Ram 2500 is 1500 - 3000 lb, depending on exact options. If you have 6000 lb. of gravel in the bed, you are certainly overloaded.

 

[MDFisherman]

E rated tires. Was the truck overloaded? Of course. Every spring I go get 2 scoops of gravel for the driveway.

I guess I am an evil over loader!

My truck is supposed to be a half ton truck (1500). I have had a confirmed 4200# at the tailgate (confirmed as in bags of cement). The tires I USED to run would have been more at home on a dump truck. Yes - overloaded. Do I recommend it? NO. But it did do it.
Even my Dodge dealer says that it has too many springs for a half ton.

 

[HybridFyre]

Just to clarify...I wasn't knocking it saying you are being dumb. It was more of an impressed statement as I didn't know a truck like that could physically do that on a single set of tires.
