1/2 ton cement mixer.......
I'll leave at this. Only real issue towing is was the 5000 or so lbs of moving mass on trailer. Otherwise at 7-8000 lbs total it was not a big deal... My son took a picture jack knifed in ...

My son recently bought an F150 extended cab with the 6.5ft bed and the 3.3 engine to use around his small farm. Most trips are under 50 miles and it is suiting his needs very well. Two small kids fit well in the back seat, lots of cargo room in the 6.5ft bed and the capability to pull a medium size trailer to handle what won't fit in the bed. It was cheap to buy, gives great fuel economy, has good power if you let it wind up some and is relatively simple. He is investing the money that he saved so that if he needs a big truck sometime down the road he will be able to afford it.
