3000 lbs on a bumper hitch? :-?
yes, and it it had a 300lb tongue load limit. i pulled it pretty well but now i have an expedition and i cant tell its behind me.
This may get me in trouble but I just can't let it go.
Come on! "I can't tell it's behind me". How many times I heard that and it's a bunch of Cr%p. You can tell when anything is hooked to the back of a vehicle unless you drunk, on crack, or drive so slow you would never know anyway. I have an F-250 SD and can tell a difference in driving and handling when I have a 15' boat attached.
I disagree with you, I pull an 18ft boat behind my truck and can't tell it's there. Given I'm driving a 2500HD with a 15000lb tow rate, but still, my truck doesn't miss a beat. I do have a reese hitch, and YES, I would recommend that to anyone who is going to tow.
p.s.- I don't drive drunk, on crack, and definetely not slow
I have a fully rigged 520 Ranger Commanche. When I tow it with my F-250, I definitely know it's there. But with my F-450 I have to keep looking back to see if it's still there - seriously, no joke. I can't feel it and the truck acts like it's not there.
You never would have convinced me before I did it. I literally had to experience it to believe it. Now I know better. It's possible.
