OP, true story about the weight. They're pigs for sure. You won't have less than 4klbs in the truck bed with even the smallest model 811/860, period.
That worries some people (obviously). To each there own.
For a reccomendation, we had an aluminum frame 860 for a couple years and now a wood frame 860 for several years. Only get used sporadically, avg a few weeks a year total, but so far both the old 05 and current 03 model have been almost 100% trouble free. Biggest issue with either of them has been one Jack rusted up and I had to remove it and take it apart and get er lubed up again.
