half ton legal to install a sled deck on???

[imdoo'n]

axle weights are there for a reason.

 

[tex78]

So I just had a thought.

K so 1/2 ton means 1000 lbs payload -box
3/4 ton is 1500 lbs
1 ton is 2000 lbs ish more for dulley


So sleds are 500 lbs and up , plus gear, plus everything else.

1/2 ton with one and a deck borderline.

3/4 ton ect with 2. Border line

This is rear axle gvw ' s

Amazing how fast it adds up. I scaled last weekend with my dually, I had around 12500lbs on the truck axles with quads, saw, gas etc. Trailer tongue weight added quite a bit to that total though.

Especially when one actually gets pulled into a scale, it can get expensive and time consuming yup

your facts are off. i doubt there is one 1/2 ton on the market right now with a pay load of only 1000lbs, most are anywhere from 1300-2100, i think ford even has an f150 with 2800lbs if i'm not mistaken,

with a 1500lb payload you will not be legal with 2 sleds and a deck, i have a 1500 payload and with one sled on my single deck and 2 people in the truck and a full tank of fuel and a trailer with maybe a 50lb tongue weight i am just about at capacity

u may be right tex, i haven't looked in a while, but ford had a base f150, that putting in 400 lbs was overweight, there f150 crew cab the 4door job, was 500lb, you definitely need to check the numbers as the sales guy has no freaking idea, i like having fun and ask this question every time, they have no idea run around asking the next sales guy then they bring the brochure and this is what ford says, i tell em, lets scale it as it sits, then i know for sure. brochure gives you the base stripped numbers. funny the RCMP don't care about brochures.
with a 1 ton you should be good, but check anyway.

Well think about it pilo.

Name says it all. 1/2 ton.

What's a 1/2 ton. I bet if u took truck to a scale and weight it on the back axle and compared to the rear gvw of the axle no 1/2 is going to have more than 1500 load on it.

jeff u may be right you work on them every day, usually when ya have nothing interesting to post on here, hehe

the only way to know is get it weighed. suprising what mud and snow/ice under the box will add to.

plio we bought the f150 8200 series f150, when the truck was weighed, the rear axle had 2000 lb payload capacity, deck, 2 sleds/2quads, fuel, oil, gear, snow/ice,mud
we can easily exceed that number, i always check the weights at a scale of the truck from the sales lot, then ya know had one tons that where dam close also. usually no one will have any problem but ya just never know. seeing as this is a recuring question every year, there should be a go to thread for this info, just so we can get back to cold beer.

 

[medler]

Friggen trucks and sled decks.

I owned a 2009 F150 crew cab King Ranch. It was pushing max weight limit with me and one sled, and maybe a few pops stashed in convenient places. Add one more person or a couple cans of fuel and I was over

 

[tex78]

i'm not arguing as though i know it all, and i wouldnt run a deck with 2 sleds on a halfer i was simply saying what i have seen as listed payloads on truck, and tex you say no half ton is going to have a payload over 1500, but larry just said after weighing his f150 had a payload of 2000? or am i reading this wrong?

 

[tex78]

Well the 7700 gvw 7 bolt wheels f150 I'm not sure. I'd say 1500 cause its kind of half ton and 3/4 ton
