Isn't freedom of choice awesome...What, a 4 foot bed isn't enough? Most trucks drive around hauling nothing but air and generate TONS of carbon dioxide doing it.

Not following that? The ratings on 1 ton trucks are ridiculously high now. Regular cab 1 tons have the most towing capacity. And they immediately require a CDL…. if You have one with a light weight v8 gas motor it is even more. when I last looked the towing capacity of a reg cab 1 ton Ram was like 32K pounds…. That is 15k more than my 1 ton 4 door short box…To get the CAT skid steer I want, the only legal truck to haul it is a single cab F350.
It seems equipment has again outpaced the truck and trailer market...not power wise, but suspension and DOT regulations on 26K limits.

Not how it works. You are overweight(26k) by rating not by actual weight…. Either one you are over 26k. Single is way worse because the rating is so high…Cat 299 - 12k
F350 Crew - 9.5k
Trailer 5.5K
Total 27k
Cat 299 12K
F350 Single - 7.5k
Trailer 5.5k
Total 25K
This is how it works in the DOT's eyes...Not how it works. You are overweight(26k) by rating not by actual weight…. Either one you are over 26k. Single is way worse because the rating is so high…
Sorry no…it works by rating…. So they don’t have to pull a scale to ticket you, just look at the VIN tag…I used to think same as you, and after the 30 page thread and 15 calls to the DOT. I was convinced I, and you, were wrong.This is how it works in the DOT's eyes...
That is all that matters...
They are for sale..Pick your colourAre you sure those you see are available for sale? Most often I have found that they are already sold to fleets and are awaiting delivery.
