My '98 pulled a 19K# Cat 'dozer out of a hole it had dug while high-centered... we had to dig 3' down just to get a hold of the rear D-ring.

One time with my 2002, 44 K. 2 10 ton H&S farm wagons each loaded with 15 1300 LB silage bales. Warning! Do not attempt this much weight up too big of hill. You can pull 25 K easy without much worry.

What the &#^# were you towing? How did your suspension handle it or was the truck just moving it and the weight was pretty much balanced and stable on its own ?
