In 2008 I had a 2008 Chevy dually w/ 3 car hauler, made great money,drove lower 48, slept in my truck 20% of the time 80% in hotels. I had to shut down because started my business with no capital at all. Existing bills started to pile up,and remember in 2008 diesel gas prices was crazy high! I had new equipment but didn't have extra money to pay my bills until I get caught up making enough pickups and deliveries. This is just to help a reader that sees this. Have at least 6 to 12 months of funds on hand before you start out

lorenz rowe In rough terrain,mountains,logging roads,etc you could cut the max by half.But if its less of a severe duty 75-80% is a good maximum number to go by in stock form.I've been in the towing business for years and when picking a chassis I try not to ever go above 75% of the ratings.I work with others who have bought trucks that on paper can handle the loads,but realistically they end up with too small a truck and end up burning through them. One contractor I work with bought a F250 dualy and he used to make fun of us for buying a 450 to do the same job.He added airbags and a few other mods to help but after 10 transmissions,6 rears,4 motors and 3 trucks later we're still running that same F 450.Yes it was more up front and unloaded mileage is a little less(but better loaded) but in the long run it has been much cheaper and more profitable but I wasnt going to argue with him because I enjoyed picking up the slack when his rig was down ;) Also you need to think about resale value too,nobody wants a ragged out overworked truck.With all things being equal if you pick a truck with a little headroom to work with over something just barely capable of getting things done.You will find it much easier to sell and recoup more of your investment from the bigger truck.

His tires (rears were only visible) looked to be Michelin LTX, so not "cheap". The HD Fords are known to have alignment issues when loaded heavily, that's what is eating his tires.

He has over 450K miles on the truck with no problems with the dif or front suspension. The truck has been perfect with the exception of the 6.4. It is still running the same trans and shifts perfect. Ford brought back the HD F-450 in the newer trucks. The 6.7 with the 19.5's and Dana 110 is the perfect setup for hauling. My Dad's normal load is around 26K to 28K Lbs...

Hands down the best way to put TT that much weight on a truck is starting with a 26k gvwr like my 99 International 3800 loading one or 2 cars on its flatbed. Then if CDL holder, mount a stinger steered 5th whl totaling your length at 75ft long truck& Trlr. This trailer can be a 35-45' long lowpro 25k gvwr and you'd have over 60ft deck space. I'm not CDL so my truck only pulls a 10k gvwr trailer holding 7000 lbs so 2 small cars or a truck. My 23ft truck deck 12' upper & 11' lower rear deck holds 2 dinky cars or cargo trlrs. Mine grosses $3/mile

Pretty Impressed! Hes hauling more then the specs says he can and has just shy of 200 thousand miles! He never really said anything about engine problems, When you`re hauling that weight frying the axle is understandable and lastly the death wobble is with every truck. Just my opinion but hauling that weight in a chevy would scare me because of all the alignments needed. My neighbor is the manager of a travel company and His 3 Gms are pretty good aside from a couple glowplugs, one of them has a dying trans and the other thing is all the alignments he needs done on them. Lastly I live here in BC and a lot of his tours go through the Rockies and Up Rogers Pass and The Coquahala Highway. Those are nasty roads. He tries not using the GMs for the fully loaded tours because they sometimes goes into limp mode up the passes and that can really hurt business. Just My opinion. Thanks!

2013 F450: rear differential is 4.30, Maximum 5th wheel towing is 24.7k. Since Mike's pickup is out of warranty, we can say that it was good for him, when Ford did honor the warranty on the differentials, because he was constantly exceeding the factory specs, by doing 36k lbs GCWR. And as others have pointed out. An F550(4.80 rear differential) or higher, with single cab and 2wd would be a better candidate for doing these kind of towing daily.

If it was me I would be changing something the vehicle or a complete aftermarket rear end.

I really don't like that Ford switched over to coil sprung front axles... I could give a shit about the turning radius with leafs, at least death wobble is a hell of a lot less common. They should've taken a hint when Dodge went to coils in 94 that death wobble was going to be a problem. That's why GM trucks having their SLA IFS doesn't bother me as much as it does most people... It works well for what it was designed for. Solid axle is definitely more heavy duty, but I'll pass on having death wobble. Solid axle needs to be done right, with leafs... Coils with LCAs and a track bar supporting the axle just doesn't cut it, especially with trucks these days grossing as much as they can. With that being said, the Fords track bar/bushing is a lot better quality than what is found on the Rams so death wobble is not as big of a problem as it is on the Ram trucks.

Josh McCarthy Rams have their own front end problems (including death wobble), notorious for their ball joints, the weakest automatic transmission in that segment (68RFE) and the lack of DEF caused those engines to burn a lot more fuel. Though I think the 2014 Ram 3500 with the new chassis, AISIN tranny, and stronger diff, and inclusion of DEF would have fixed all that. But then Chrysler seems to be still doing a lot of recalls on their products. You probably think I hate Rams after reading this, but no I really like them, I would buy the 2014 Ram 2500 when the time is right. But I am just pointing out, as many others have, they all have their problems.

MrChevypower I have a ram with 311k miles with no death wobble issues. Death wobble is usually an issue with 4wds. These guys are stupid for buying a 4wd to tow on hwy. More parts, more maintenance, more problems, and more money. The 68RFE is a great transmission and I know many car haulers that r still running their original tranny with over 300k. And ford and gm started running def just a few years before dodge so their 07-10's have the same exhaust problems. Everyone talkin shit on dodge autos is ignorant, that was 20 years ago. Today they are as bullet proof as the G56

I had the same wobble on my Dodge 2500 an I put 2 horizontal stabilizer shocks in front of the front axle and got rid of the wobble. Hope it will work for you.

Interesting. If you Google for "ford death wobble" there's a bunch of aftermarket upgrades that you can install to fix it... but you'd think this would be a RECALL given that it's obviously a problem in the vehicle's design.

was rather surprised about the axle failures till I looked up GCVR of that truck. 33K LBS and he is running 36K LBS so 3K over weight. Definitely stressing the power train running 1.5 tons over weight.

that's not the problem, ford is the problem. I run a 07 dodge 3500 pulling 4 car hauler and it has 311k thousand miles with little problems. Go to the auction, these trucks pull the loads every day with little issues. Most of us run dodges.

Great story guys! Interesting about the diff problems, I know Fords have really strong differentials, but I think this reveals why Ram put the finned cover on theirs. Would adding this feature have any significant benefit in this guy's application?

He's throwing his money at the wrong component (the tires.) He is band-aiding the problem instead of fixing the source of the problem. He needs to do a bit more research and spend the few dollars on the actual FIX for the issue.
