funny now but almost put the truck in the river,buddy and I took his 2000 f-250 with a 10.5 ft camper and 20ft alumaweld down to the big c we launched at beacon rock,in case you have never been there its a pretty steep ramp I began to back it down the ramp and when I hit the brakes the truck could not stop the load wound up having to put it in first to stop it,point of story buy the right truck for the job or it will cost you in the end,my prefernce is my 2001 chevy 1ton this can handle same load no problem....
