If they were some of the aluminum fords then ‘supposedly’ they are legal by the book. Since the overall truck is lighter payload can be enough for 2 sleds and gear. But like marginally.
Also some guys from Calgary don’t give an f and risk the short trip to golden I find.
The HD payload F-150 has room to spare with 2 sleds and deck. More payload then most diesel 3/4 tons. I don’t get why everyone on this forum gets so worked up about the number on the side of the truck payload and gvwr of the truck determine its capacity not 150 or 250 or 350. Also BC sets their own gvwr printed in their registration which from what I have seen seems to be empty weight of truck x 1.5 which ends up being significantly north the gvwr in the door. There is a lot scarier things in the road then a f-150 with 2 sleds on deck....rant over! Let’s gets this back to entertaining pics that make this keep going!

With your average F150 crew cab 4x4 though, you are only going to about 2100lbs max payload capacity unless you opt for the heavy duty payload package with the 18" wheels.
Not saying you can't get a f150 that hauls more that a 2500, but the typical truck on the lot likely isn't going to come with that package.
^^^truth. Nice to place factory order to fit individual needs. All I’m getting at is I don’t even look twice when I see a half ton with a deck anymore. If people choose to be overloaded that’s their problem at the scales could just as easily overload 2500.

I'm with you there. I'll stare a bit when I see a particularly sketchy headlights to the sky load, but i could care less otherwise. I know I'm comfortable in my 3500 and that's all that really matters.
Such a shortage of class action suits and personal injury ambulance chasers.
One of the first requirements in most commercial and personal policies is that vehicle is to be operated in accordance of regs ....

Everyone is getting upset at a 1/2 ton truck with a sled deck and 2 sleds but no one cares about the 3/4 ton with sled deck and 3 sleds. Its just as bad but because its got Cummins or Powerstroke on the side and roals coal its legit?

Yeah they have a 5.5' box and terrible payload, like 600#'s
You must be new here. It's not ok to overload a 1/2 ton cause that means you're poor you can only overload lifted diesels cause then you're a baller.
According to SkiDoo and mud yes absolutely.
