He blows a rear end every 50K, and wears out tires every 20K? He makes a good case for not using a pickup to do the job of a real truck. (ok my flame suit is on) ;)
no I suspect he well above the 36k he claims. A triple axle car hauler has a gvw right around 21k and weighs 10k empty; 4 cars at 4500 plus the trailer gives you 28k, so he's telling me an 450 with 90 gallons of fuel only weighs 8,000 pounds?
And if he's only 3k above fords gcwr he's still able to burn through a rear in 50,000 miles?
Listed weight for my RAM 3500 Dually is 8,020#.
