2005 F-350 Super Duty
http://www.fordvehicles.com/trucks/s...r=6&pfrm=WinXP
the F-350 takes the title as the strongest pickup on the road agian after the ugly Nissan Titan took it(that piece of crap) this new pickup can haul 17,000 pounds in reverse!!! I have no idea what it can do going forward but I would love to find out.

yeah except the fact that they aren't street legal.
F-350 and equal counterparts are used to carry lots of shit from site to site including Bobcats. My dad's place has a 350 and 550 used to haul large heavy amounts of metal to and from customers, and even when full they still haul ass for a huge ass truck.
And yeah Dodges are great if you don't need a transmission :roll:

Only problem is that some assholes get these trucks and lift them. That new Superduty series look is bad assed. Imagine how many track cows you can tow?? With this truck you could start your own towing company to pull people out of a ditch, or off a trail. Have you guys seen the king ranch, or Harley Davidson version of these trucks?

Yeah I test drove the Harley Version of the Super Duty and that thing is bad ass is lifted slightly and has a nice paintjob and the interior is nice not to mention the pickup (no pun intended) the thing had. I've looked at the King Ranch and it is pretty nice inside aswell.
The ones my dad's place has are really nice they have the commercial use upgrades so they have bullet proof trannies and LSD's in the rear along with more power and they haul ass when empty people don't realise that these trucks can really move. Like RC said tons of people use these things to haul things like campers and boats, not like in the UK with those pussy ass Volvo's and mini campers but huge ass campers, hell I saw an F-350 Dually supercrew towing a semi flat bed trailer before (loaded) and the beds can hold full sheets of ply-wood and Dry-wall not to mention I've seen them used to pull cars.

when did they become street illegal only trucks above the f-450 are commercial and need a special lisence. Next time I go to the ford dealership I'll take some pics of their trucks.
