    Indeed! And also noteworthy- this tree came down during Helene in ‘24… thankfully came to rest off the ground. Absolutely zero punk.
    Those splits were as fresh as if the tree was dropped green, the day before! And therefore heavy as all get out!

    Assuming it’s a F 250
    Limited squat for 1/2 ton truck confirmed by
    8 lugs per tire Should be over 1/2 ton or standard F150

    edited to add Translating from numbers guy too English major.. Hey Eric VW that’s about 1/2 cord of good firewood. Could easily be overloading a 1/2 ton pick up truck, especially if not dried. Wait he said he drove down route 77. Wait a f150 that overloaded would have more squat.. ohh count lugs on rim. I see 8 lugs. At least 250 or super duty, glad to know my friend Eric is not risking his neck.. I sure hope his back hold up in unloading and stacking process

    Nailed it on the investigative forum research, Lyle!
    Yes, it is a F250 Super Duty (7.3L gasser, 6 3/4 bed), and with help, my back has been managing.
    :yes:

    I didn’t read until this afternoon and by then all my coffee focus was gone!
