Pickup Decisions...
When buying a heavy beasty pickup, are you more concerned about it's age or it's mileage? Would you prefer a 95 with 75,000 miles over a 2004 with 130,000? Useful life for gas vs. diesel? For me...

How's the payload on that? I wanted to diesel to begin with until I learned how much payload you lose.
Don't remember the payload but according to Michelin tire specs the four rear tires are rated total max 11,112 lbs at 80 psi inflation when used as a dually. The max loading for a single tire is 3,042 lbs.
As I recall the total weight of the truck and camper was around 11,000 lbs when I checked it.
About 4,300 lbs of that is probably riding on the front axle.
I inflate the fronts to 65 psi and rears 55 psi, which is somewhat over inflated per Michelin specs.
