How much weight has your cucv hauled?

[Iceman3005]

Went and collected some wood. Being the man that I am..................I had to weigh said load! Truck weighs 6000 empty, and trailer weighs 1280 empty, gross weight was 13060 lbs -6000 lbs. -1280 lbs. =5780 lbs of wood!

I have rolled the truck across the scale at 9300 lbs, and have rolled with trailer at 16,500 lbs. Daily curb weight now is 7100 lbs.

 

[Iceman3005]

Just considering the fact that the truck is only rated to haul 2500 lbs, and the trailer is only rated for 1500 lbs, for a total of 4000 lbs. then that means it was a little over loaded.

About 4000 in brush. Being a 1031 SECM, it also hauls around the generator, air compressor and about 1000 pounds of tools. Had no problem getting to 55 mph, it did take a while. Keeping 55 on the hills was not possible.

I haul oprox 2000LBS spread between the bed and my 5'X10' open trailer every month 75 miles to ATL. With the gear vendors I can usually stay above 65MPH up the hills. I find the brakes to be ah little scary in ATL traffic. But I think I can fix that with ah few upgrades.

Yes, electric trailer brakes are worth the cost.

I hauled a Ford Explorer on a 6,000 lb car trailer on the stock swivel pintle to wall SD (about 500 miles away from Olivia and a Ford F-150 back on the same trailer and had no problems other than having to run the heat while towing the explorer in the hills between murdo and wall because it was 95 degrees outside.

I haven't hauled much weight (that will change) but I did pull 36,000 lbs dead weight drag. I pulled it 209.38

The heaviest thing I ever hauled was 2 tons of concrete sack mix. It drove really well. Very slow but oh so very smooth ! This was also the first time I ever got the truck down on the overload springs. I never went over 45 mph. Before I get lambasted for hauling such a heavy load I need to clarify it first. I needed fifty 90lbs sacks of concrete for a job at home. It wasn't until I got home that I did the math and realized it was over 2 tons of weight. I have never hauled that heavy of load in my bed since. Towing is another matter. The heaviest trailer I ever towed was 30,000 lbs. It towed it just fine too. Of course the trailer had it's own brakes.

Oh that's right the county fair is coming up. Maybe I will enter in the led sled event. Lol

Never enough to break it

2545 pounds in the bed of the high speed M1008.
And she sat level.

High speed??

If you have the good overload springs that would be just right. That's hauling a ton of weight, what it was designed to haul.

Just a few loads of fire wood in my M416 trailer pulled behind my M1009.

 

[Westech]

My M1008 has 308 gears.
But might change to 456 and make a tow rig camper out of her.

I've towed a school bus out of the turn around at the end of my dirt road. How much do they weigh? Only pulled it maybe 200 feet. I normally use the Deuce for such functions but the wife went overkill and used the 923 to do the same thing so I was trying to prove that the M1028 could also do the job!

I love my m1028 for pulling the extra over loads are nice..... Now if I can find a turbo and a marine injection pump with some hi pop injectors at a nice low price.

Marine injection pump?
