You should use the whole quote to get context of what I am saying. Not everyone needs a 12-13k gvwr SW truck, be it a 25 or 35 series badge with 400-500 HP.
The OP, fish's neaghbors, myself, need a bit more truck than a typical 15 series at up to 7200 gvw. That's where a modern 8 lug 8600-9200 gvwr rig with 3000+- lbs of payload comes into play. A 250-350hp motor's I mentioned, get decent mileage empty, ride smooth, can pull an ave size RV st 10k 5w and upwards of 15k ball mount.....this truck does not exist anymore. I consider bad, some may consider it good.....
If Frod would build more of it 8200?!?! G wr f150's I think many more than does would sell. If I could have found one, that would be better than my GM1500. Reality, with the 1800 lb tear helper I put on my truck, I'm better off.
