And while I'll disagree that "anything is possible", the truck was obviously satisfactorily capable of this load. The only mod he had planned before the next trip seemed to be some air shocks, I think.
Funny, you hear a lot of that on the F150 forums. People obviously pulling way over their truck's payload, but saying the Ecoboost can do it without any problems whatsoever, except maybe air bags or an extra leaf spring or such. That fixes it. What a great engine. Lots of HP and low-end torque. What a great truck.
OK. It's a great engine. It's a great truck. They both are.
But I still think the manufacturer sets the GVWR, GAWRs and GCWR for a reason. And I do not understand why, if they're such fine trucks, why do people want to abuse them by running way over these recommended weights?
