If you had to tow 30,000 with a SRW F350....

It's crazy, I know, but what would you think the chances of survival would be? What would break first? I was thinking the rear end might go into meltdown on long steep hills crawling along at 25 mph. I've never done anything like this and I'm not sure I ever will, but I'm curious about what other people think.

Well in a SRW 350 you'd probably wreck before you could break anything. A DRW would be 1,000,000 times better. 100% more rubber on the back end. I'd say you could probably make it up the hill without seriously damaging anything but you'd be screwed on the downhill.

Yeah I think your front end would break when you run into something as it pushes you along.



Seriously though I've read of people on a couple truck sites I visit pulling grain carts that weigh more than 30,000lbs though.

There was a video of the Toyota Tundra pulling the space shuttle. Your F350 is much more of a truck.

I've rolled over the scales at 36k combined hauling some equipment with the 6.0 yes it sucked no I wouldn't do it again. Sometimes things gotta go where they gotta go!

The total rolling resistance of the shuttle was something along the lines of 13k lbs. The trolley's the shuttle sits on did 99.5% of the work all the tundra did was provide direction it seems outrageous that Toyota can make such insane claims to the public without getting called out on it.

I thought they shut off all the wheel pushers?

Toyota can claim what they want. I'll never buy one.

I thought I read something about 8.36 gears...

My buddy has a Tundra, he pulls a 3500lb cargo trailer everyday with it. Never had a problem in 160k miles. It's a TRD 5.7.

Too light duty for me though. And ugly duckling.
