I don't know where you guys get the idea you can pull that kind of load with a pickup no matter how bad you think your little dually is. This is a commercial load. You need a truck with a load rating of at least 5 tons, that means a truck that weighs at least 12,000 lbs empty. You also need a CDL. Although the pickup might have the power to pull the load if it doesn't twist its axles off first, it's a case of the tail wagging the dog big time. I'm gonna start alerting the cops every time I see one of these ridiculous rigs on the road. Just so you know, the fine is $2000.00 for pulling a trailer over 10,000 lbs without the correct combination GVWR and CDL.
Thats my rave for the day.
