Really it is not so far out of bounds. I hauled 32,500 more or less as a regular diet on the 2500 with single wheels. Three Southern Comfort Conversion vans come to that weight. Carried them to Deleware, Long Island, St. Lewis, Housten, and so on. You are talking more weight but balanced out, not that much more. I would not chance it with the scales and my trailer would be over taxed with that much, but the Dodge would pull it just fine.

Hey folks, pics are on my favorites. Pics of the truck on dyno, and the shop loaded on the trailer, and the whole thing back in alaska. The steel on just the back of the trailer weighs 30.6k. There is a four wheeler, two post lift, tire machine, tire balancer, all the insulation, all the sheeting, and all of the hardware.

I don't haul near that weight, have many problems when doing it all day everyday. I figure if I hang out here, maybe some of your good luck will rub off on me. That's alotta stuff to get stopped. I'd like to see photo's also please.

Cheers,

This is a very good thread. When I read the remark by diesel_burner it hit me to be real funny and I laughed til tears were running down my face. Hang in there.
