My Lil 7.3L Mule

[CarTotem]

It did stop pretty well for it's size. It was interesting at the rest areas. It had the same dimensions as a semi truck trailer, just a few feet shorter. A lot of the drivers commented on it's size. Yes the 21K was just the trailer. I was pushing the trucks spec'd limits a little. I was just really worried about the stock tranny with 100K miles on it. I've since put another 250K miles on it and the tranny is still strong! My other PSD has 560K on it, and has only had one bank under the valve cover harness done for maintaince, period. Batteries and alternators of course! but not even a CPS. Almost all my dash lights have burnt out on that one though.

He is commercial...............insurance is alot more expensive but a lot more inclusive.
The trailer looked to have three seven thousand pound axles (21,000 total) and that model 350 has about 11,500 gvwr for a total of 32,500 GCVWR.

...a little

how do you guys pull loads like that and not worry??? and i dont mean from the trucks perspective as we know the truck can pull it, but rather from a liability standpoint

i only ask as i got the third degree from my insurance guy (when we added the RV) about NEVER pulling more than factory GCVW or they wouldnt cover me if a fender was scratched...much less if someone got hurt
