On a scale of one to overloaded...

Where would you put this OBS 199x F-250 Powerstroke? Yes a F-250 I walked past it...Triple Axle, Triple slide Toy Hauler has a 20k GVWR.....


Oh the things you see in the RV park.....I think the power rating for that generation was what 210HP/425tq? LOL!

Ugh its only a standard cab too. That short wheelbase would be really squirly going down the road. Did it have bags? Its not even squatting. Maybe there isnt much in the hauler.

Doesn’t look like the truck is holding the weight. The rear stabilizer jacks are down on the trailer.

That poor truck. We saw a Toyota Tundra pulling something similar. Wish I would have taken a picture. Common sense isn't so common anymore

Why, is it that the weight police are the only one's concerned with this? It is his truck and trailer and it is not broken down on the highway is it?

I am definitely not the weight police. Look what I drive. But even I will say that is ridiculous.

It's almost unbelievable. Like "Hey Bill, let's get a few laughs and park your truck with my toy hauler over there for a while."

I am concerned.

I actually couldn't care less if his overload causes him a breakdown. Its the idea that he might be sharing the roadway with my loved ones when he looses control that raises the hair on the back of my neck. But hey... I'm sure "it pulls it just fine"...

JMO but these type threads without any actual scaled weight numbers or we know what mods the truck has, serves no purpose and is just a feel good thingy we see posted on rv websites from time to time.
Now if we had actual scaled weight numbers then we could speculate and make silly comments. Oh wait...thats already been done with all the guessing.
