    But look at the mileage too. I get ~25 mpg in my 1991 f250, and that's averaged between loaded and unloaded.

    Glad you're OK, looks like it could have been really bad.

    This one came from a campground expansion, a bit tail heavy, glad the F250 was pulling it... 20240724_102306.jpg
    We got 3 loads from 1 yard that had a bunch of blow downs recently...6' and 9' logs on this load 20240828_182054.jpg
    Oak and hickory, 9' to 14'... 20240828_140431.jpg
    Mostly 12' Oak, our neighbor, Fredrick was a big help. 20240828_101452.jpg

    It was supposed to be a deal where a tree service was coming to clean it up a day or so later. We were mostly in the shade, but no breeze. That pic was going down the road.
    Tree folks never came

    This was our 2nd load yesterday, willow oak... 20240902_162836.jpg
    Even loaded heavy on the axles/back, it wouldn't dump, had to get pry bar on the front to get it started...:eek::eek:...
    Wish we could have weighed it, it's dumped 10K before.

    That's why I like telescopic dumps, like they make dump trucks. I have yet to see one not dump. I bought a telescopic cylinder for my truck before I built the wood bed....can't use it now unless I build a steel bed or redesign the one I have. I might use it to build a dump trailer.

    Yep, I recently saw some dump trailer with telescopic cylinders. I hadn't seen any when we got ours in 2018. Our trailer is rated for 10k...:whistle::whistle:...I think that means gross...:emb::emb:...

    Got lucky today. I saw a downed tree on the main drag through town. Luckily nobody had noticed it yet.

    I thought I was missing a round. Looked under the truck and found this one. It would have done been a very bad day had I not removed it. IMG_2660.jpeg

    Loaded just enough to make the trip worth it and not so much that the ride home was sketchy.
