Paging, Steve M

Steve, on your TC,,,, the book says it can only handle 1600 lb load. I have cut my van stuff down as far as I can and it's still about 2000. I still want one,,, what do you think?

What in the world does a locksmith carry that totals 2000 lbs??? I have never weighed mine with the "big load" But I have made it squat really bad. It gets pretty slow/sluggish with the big load. It stops fine, handles reasonably well so personally 400 extra lbs wouldn't bother me though.

you would be surprised how much locks weigh, 3 key machines, shelving, 2 LARGE extra batteries for my converters, keys out the a$$,(over 300 different keys X 10-20 each) tools,,, my fat a$$ and bunches more. My van used to weigh 8250 fully loaded.

Oh we sell Master locks to a local trucking company and I get to deliver them. A case is like a chunk of lead! IDK, toting a big load once a week is not the same as doing it everyday. Ford will frown on a 2000 lb cargo if warranty comes into play. Maybe trimming inventory and the converter/batteries could get you down closer to 1600 lb. Just get a loooooooong drop-cord!:bwahaha: An 08 E250 weighs 5195 lbs so you were carrying 3055 lbs of stuff? Guess you have already trimmed it down to the basics.:sad:

Let me prepare you for something else ......................... the stares. I was in Statesville this morning and stopped @ McDonalds. This Toyota was in the parking lot, across the isle from me. The people driving in and out were staring at MY van instead of the Redneck Girl Toyota .......:cry::cry::cry: I think I could also hear faint banjo music in the background!
