Every state is different as far as the DOT is concerned, but I used a Ford F700, took the bed off, installed a ball hitch, pulled a gooseneck with three axles for about a year and really liked it. It had a diesel motor and a 5 speed so was a little short legged, but I painted it Farmall red, had dual 5" straight stacks off an old semi, and it really looked cool. Only paid $5500.00 for it too, way under what I would have had to pay for a pickup stought enough to haul what I hauled. And the good thing I liked, when you wanted to stop, that big a truck would just set down. Felt a lot safer. The only drawback was the darned electric brakes on the trailer. Hated them. One time they would stop, next time they might not. Finally went to a little bit bigger truck, with air brakes, and an air brake trailer, loved it, waited for diesel to go to $2.00 a gallon, now I get to look out the kitchen window and watch it. But I have it if I need it., Harley
