what do you guys think

Brakes! Brakes! Brakes! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Since the front end is in the air, independent rear brakes would help with the steering.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I agree with you 100% on this. The only thing a stupid trick like this does is get someone hurt. If he was dumb enough to drive it at 65 mph then he was dumb enough to be around other people. I wonder if he will brag when he kills an innocent family with that rig. /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif

You guys should go over to thedieselstop.com their are alout a guys boosting pulling 30,000 plus one I seen was close to 40,000 .
I don't see the big deal you guys are whining about they make 12 ton trailers for pickups so that means they would have to have brakes to stop 12 ton.Yes 65 seems a little fast It is no worse than these people pulling a big travel trailer behind a jeep or some other small suv

I made a post earlier that I figured the truck shown had about a 9 ton maximum combined weight rating. Okay, suppose the dimbulb has an accident with his rig, completely the fault of another driver....dimbulb could not stop nor swerve fast enough.

Here comes a sharp attorney, who insists dimbulb put his rig, or what is left of it, on a scale. He gotcha....his argument is, by exceeding the GCWR mandated by Ford, dimbulb was driving recklessly and in disregard of the safety of other motorists. Odds are, his insurance would also be voided.

Oh, one other thing, does dimbulb have the required CDL for operation of a combination vehicle in excess of 26,000 lbs?
Fat chance.

That gives SuperDuty a whole new definition!

 

[powerstroke2000]

dimbulb is a little smarter than a jdgreen227 in the Stae of Ohio a farmer does not need a cdl to operate even in a semi if you do not travel more than 150 miles from your home.

GCWR is a joke I would not be able to haul anything if I went by that
my truck weighs 9000 and the trailer weighs around 6500 that means I could only haul a 4500 lbs tractor.
