I'm going to say total gross combined weight, because if that was the load itself then there would be about another 16,000#'s on top of that. So I still don't see a 7.3 superduty doing 70MPH with 51,000#'s behind it. Unless your going down a hill.
I've grossed 30,000#'s with mine on multiple occasion's and the truck won't get out of its own way. I couldn't imagine another 20,000#'s on top of it.

this was my load last week. had three horses in it.
another towing story though, i was in pa last week filling up in this small town and a f450 and a dual axle enclosed trailer pulls in, drags ass as he pulls in. i looked at one tire on the trailer quick and when the guy got out i mentioned to him his tire looked low. the minute the words were out of my mouth, i realized his axle was bent. he looks at me and says that hes just heavy. the axle is clearly bent and trailer overloaded... truck has dot numbers and new jersey tags. heres your sign buddy

Not much of a load but thats it.

Old azz trailer i picked up for $600, $1,200 worth of springs, hardware, tires and paint later you could actually use it. Lol.

My new to me free truck F250 4x4 with a 460 and a 5 speed my wife's aunt told me I could have it for helping her around her farm so I dropped a battery in it and started it up. It has sat since 2010 and all it needs is some brake work

I had a '88 SCLB with the 460 and 5-speed. It wasn't a diesel, but I loved the truck. It got about 9 MPG whether in the city or highway. I had true duals and not cats with flowmasters and the thing sounded wicked.

It will be getting an exhaust for sure but thinking long term it might get a 12 valve danna 60 and a flat bed

Not the heaviest or biggest haul out there... For a weekend here and there, the accommodations can't be beat and the gulf is in my front yard.

It is a 24' deck, 2013 PJ B6. The 236 is 7000 lbs roughly, not mine but i work for The Cat Rental store so it doesn't take much to use it.

Def not safe and I don't understand how it was legal without overweight permits or a semi.
