    I haul my wood in a trailer I pull with a 2005 Yukon. Today I picked up a load of maple rounds and I definitely felt it. I doubt I had more than 3500lbs total counting the trailer. Up until 4 yrs ago it would pull my camper almost double that with about same effort. I guess its time to retire the old gal
    and start looking for something else.

    How about something like this:

    2012 Ford F-250 LARIAT | eBay

    Price is high, but low mileage and appears to be in flawless shape...Timing not right financially at the moment for me.

    That load might be a bit on the heavy side

    The solution if that happens is to just remove the mudflaps!

    They'll remove the offending low hanging portions on their own.

    Old picture, it is a rusty POS these days. It has a coil sprung Dana 60 and a 10.5" Sterling. It also has a 7.3 Powerstroke.
