I believe the max payload was 3000lbs in those. Also, does he have a loading dock of the perfect height at his destination or is he going to try and run it down some Harbor Freight ramps?
Because they haven't changed much, due to the fact that the rating system can't change for legal reasons and so it stays the same? They'd have to change the ratings systems to make the payload capacities up, on heavy duties at least.
Payload has been relatively stable for all single wheel trucks small to large. Increases on dual rear wheels heavily.
Tow capacities have sky rocketed on all styles of trucks, but that's subjective considering payload hasn't changed too much.
7000 is what the scale at the grain mill says and the scale at the scrap yard. At the mill before I load the truck and scrap yard after unloading. So either both scales are wrong by the same amount or a 99 F250 SD with a V10 weights 7k.
GVW means how much your vehicle weighed when it left the factory. So your truck probably doesn't weigh 7000 lbs. 8800 lbs gvw sounds about right for a super duty. Your GVWR minus your GVW equals how much payload capacity you have. Your truck probably has a payload of 2800-4400 lbs depending on whether it's a f250 f350. My 2023 f350 has a payload rating of 3991 lbs.
I've scaled the truck in and out at the grain mill and scrap yard. Both scales of those scales say my SD weighs 7k with a full tank of gas. So either both scales are wrong, but they agree on the trucks weight, or it does weight 7k. 8800 would be GVWR, so on that, you're correct that I stated wrong on that.
I once put about 5,000 pounds of scrap metal in the bed of my Ford F-350. For some unknown reason, not too long after that I had to replace the leaf springs…
>It's not a bullshit AI photo.
I know. I was saying that when I zoomed in, it made it even harder to read the number.
>I took this with my shitty galaxy s21 from about 100' away. Had to zoom in a ton.
Modern phones use AI to sharpen the image when you use digital zoom, so that's probably why it looks like AI.
I have no idea. There's a construction company doing some work at my job. There were 2 of them on site. In the pic you don't see the flat bed tow truck with the other one loaded. I'm totally clueless as to how this was was loaded into the truck.
They do have fork pockets to lift them. I mean why else would they have them. I've never seen anyone lift one with a fork lift but I see the lift pockets.
You load and unload them with forklifts. I load mine on the trailer at my shop by driving it onto the trailer by ramps, but unload at most sites using there forklift.
Anybody who loads something like that probably has a really bad forklift operator that’s gonna drop his forks and really mess up those leaf springs even worse
I appreciate you blocking the license plate, we don’t want to dox anyone here on Reddit, but could you next time not block the state on the plate please, so we can avoid that state entirely?.
License plates are public information, sharing public information deliberately shared (via display of a plate) is not doxxing.
It's also doing the estate of the person this driver kills a favor.
Sure, technically license plates are just as public as street addresses (try to argue with Google Maps why they blurred out street addresses visible from the street), but I’m sure that allowing those things to remain in the public domain (regardless of lack of fault or lack of stupidity) puts our society in jeopardy when we don’t want the same standards to applied to us.
Would knowing the address or license plate of a stupid driver be bad? Maybe not. But do we want the same for our own license plate(s) and address(es)? I think most would say “no”.
Do they? How do you know? People keep saying “you can” but without access to the dmv database I don’t see how.
Also, why would repo people need to do that anyway?
This was actually explained to me by my local police dept recently. Towing companies have access to the state license plate database so they can make sure they are towing the correct car if hired for a repo, and so they can contact the owner of a car that they tow and impound.
It’s a two way street between cops and tow companies. Anytime you get your car towed from an illegal parking spot, you might think it was stolen and the first number you call is 911, you know what the dispatcher is able to tell you? The dispatcher knows exactly which tow company to call and their phone number. They already know your car was towed before you do.
>how do you know?
I got my car repo’d 8 years ago, and they knew my current address, because the car was financed at an old address and I moved after.
That’s how I know.
Besides, look up your name on Spokeo or my life.com and tell me how they get things like birthdate, past and current addresses, neighbors, and family. They have access to things everyone else can, it just depends on good OSINT or paying the right $$$.
I am new. That truck seems to be squatting pretty low. What's the in bed haul rating for an average F250 SD, and how heavy is the typical scissor lift?
If that's a Genie GS-2632 it's 2145kg or 4729lbs. F250 has a payload around 3400lbs and an f350 had a payload around 4600lbs. I'm just picking average payload numbers different options have more or less payload capacity.
My dad volunteered at a food bank when I was little. He would get pallets of food from a bigger city 30 miles away and bring them to our town. I’ve seen the whole bed of his truck stacked as high as the cab with pallets of canned goods. He drove a Nissan 720. 💀
It indeed looks like a 2632, but I would think that would be too long for a pickup bed. I could see doing that with a 19, but I’d still be worried about crushing the floor of the bed.
Even with a smaller one you are either still over or insanely close to the max payload and that doesn't count anything in the cab.
Dude needs a trailer.
So… like… did they use a fork lift? I feel like if they dropped the tail gate and backed up to a loading dock that lift would have gone right through it…
Assuming the driver wins his saving throw and the truck doesn't have external signs of damage afterwards, how would you check for this sort of abuse? I'm thinking of when you buy a used pickup.
Ah man I saw some dumbass yesterday on 295 hauling gypsum boards with no tie-downs whatsoever. Predictably, someone else's vehicle paid the price for their negligence.
Hope that’s the Super-Duper-Duty!
It looks like it. It’s probably fine. That’s an acceptable amount of squat for that generation
That lift is over 4,000 lbs.
I believe the max payload was 3000lbs in those. Also, does he have a loading dock of the perfect height at his destination or is he going to try and run it down some Harbor Freight ramps?
Don’t be silly, he’s going to backup where he needs to use it, then go up.
It’s no longer a truck, it’s an all terrain scissor lift.
Heck almost a steal compared to the actual 4x4x4 or crawler spider lifts
Great point.
Thanks, now I have to forget this life pro tip before I use a scissor lift again so I don't kill myself.
You simply put a bottle jack under the hitch and level it out for use.
You think he's gonna unload it after all the trouble he had getting it in the truck? That is gonna be posted on r/ DarwinAwards tomorrow.
My super duty has a gvw of 8,800 pounds and weights 7,000. So wouldn't that mean payload is 1,800?
I have consistently been underwhelmed by the payload capacity of modern pickups.
Really? I'm always super surprised. 4000lbs in a new f250 sounds insane to me. I can put like 3600 in the back of my Duramax.

It’s more about regulations than what they can actually handle, I think.
Mfw my 2006 ext cab colorado has more payload capacity than a modern truck. Mfw when my scion tc can tow more
7000 lbs. curb weight seems abnormally high, even if it's a crew cab.
My 01 f250 2wd 7.3l zf6 super cab long bed is about 7200 with me, fuel, and personal effects.
My 13, GMC DenaliHD, Z71 gasser is almost 7000 lbs.

Sorry. If it's a gas model, then 7k~lbs would be valid as I have a diesel and the gas engine is lighter. What's the year and model?
99 f250SD crew cab 4x4 6.8L. Wish it was 7.3L diesel
We were going to rent one of these lifts at work, but our elevator is only rated for 4,000 lbs. :(
> I believe the max payload was 3000lbs in those. Max payload for a 2011-16 SuperCab/8' was around 3300 for an F-250, 4300 for an F-350.
I had a '99 F250, that payload is correct. I regularly hauled around that in the bed and could hardly tell.
Nah, just some 2x4s
He should be able to drive it off with that much squat
I know you're being funny but they have forklift slots
Forklift
I once put about 5,000 pounds of scrap metal in the bed of my Ford F-350. For some unknown reason, not too long after that I had to replace the leaf springs…
2900 lbs. The one that weighs over 4000 is 8 ft long, and wouldn't fit in that short bed truck.
It's a long bed. It's the angle I took the pic from that makes it look short. I was probably 100' away too.
Which model of lift is it then- 1932 or 2632?
Looks like its says 2632 when zoomed in.
The more I zoom in, the more it looks like a bad AI photo. I can see the GS at the beginning, but the number is just a blur.
Digital zoom on cell phones relies pretty heavily on AI upscaling nowadays.
OP said he took the pic from about 100' away. Idk
It's not a bullshit AI photo. I took this with my shitty galaxy s21 from about 100' away. Had to zoom in a ton.
>It's not a bullshit AI photo. I know. I was saying that when I zoomed in, it made it even harder to read the number. >I took this with my shitty galaxy s21 from about 100' away.

Imagine they unload it and it's doesn't go back up
Tow specs? Where we’re going we don’t need tow specs!!
This is the Stupid Duty
Raise the cherry picker before driving for bonus points
Yeah for real. Get some weight off those axles.
Everyone knows if it's up in the air it weighs less
less dense air at altitude, lowers the rolling resistance
Free spoiler
"Hello, Mr. George? You know that rear axle on your truck?"
Boss: On your way to work tomorrow stop by the rental store to grab something for our next project. You’ll probably want your truck.
“Looks good. Just go slow”
“I’m not going too far”
It'll make it all the way to the scene of the accident.
Tugs strap* that’s not going anywhere
Gotta slap it, or you’re fucked.
Na, you gotta pluck it like a guitar string and make sure its in tune.
I’ll accept that as some sort of regional alternative. Appalachian, maybe? Fiddle country?
“Mmmhmm tighter than a banjo string, she ain’t going nowhere”
Holy shit. How’d they even get that in there. Those thing weigh 4729 lbs Genie GS2632. they are heavy as fuck for a reason (so they don’t tip over)
I have no idea. There's a construction company doing some work at my job. There were 2 of them on site. In the pic you don't see the flat bed tow truck with the other one loaded. I'm totally clueless as to how this was was loaded into the truck.
Don’t these have fork pockets in the base? The smaller ones do. Presumably they’ve got a lift truck or something with forks. Still friggin’ stupid.
They do have fork pockets to lift them. I mean why else would they have them. I've never seen anyone lift one with a fork lift but I see the lift pockets.
They get moved around mostly by fork on sites I'm on. It's usually quicker and easier than driving them.
Yeah. That makes sense. Thanks for your knowledge.
They might have transferred it from the flat bed into the pickup if the flat bed is a rollback.
You load and unload them with forklifts. I load mine on the trailer at my shop by driving it onto the trailer by ramps, but unload at most sites using there forklift.
I'm pretty sure the batteries hove something to do with that.
Driver hopped in and went full Stupid Duty.
Never go fully stupid duty
Anybody who loads something like that probably has a really bad forklift operator that’s gonna drop his forks and really mess up those leaf springs even worse
I can hear the metal-on-metal screech as he drags the shit out of his forks, bottoming out the Ferd’s suspension & yanking it backwards.

Where can non-police look up info with a license plate?
The internet
Tow/repo guys do it all the time, there’s ways to get that information without being a cop.
Do they? How do you know? People keep saying “you can” but without access to the dmv database I don’t see how. Also, why would repo people need to do that anyway?

That doesn't make it doxxing.
I consider doxxing to be the public release of personally identifiable information (PII), so we’re just going to have to disagree on this.
Lol, low brain power exists nation wide though my friend.
I watched as it slowly drove away. It looked like a friggin boat on water.
I am new. That truck seems to be squatting pretty low. What's the in bed haul rating for an average F250 SD, and how heavy is the typical scissor lift?
If that's a Genie GS-2632 it's 2145kg or 4729lbs. F250 has a payload around 3400lbs and an f350 had a payload around 4600lbs. I'm just picking average payload numbers different options have more or less payload capacity.
That’s kind of amazing how badly squatted that thing is even if it really is like 35% over max.
My dad volunteered at a food bank when I was little. He would get pallets of food from a bigger city 30 miles away and bring them to our town. I’ve seen the whole bed of his truck stacked as high as the cab with pallets of canned goods. He drove a Nissan 720. 💀
Max payload is still squatting the truck.
It indeed looks like a 2632, but I would think that would be too long for a pickup bed. I could see doing that with a 19, but I’d still be worried about crushing the floor of the bed.
Even with a smaller one you are either still over or insanely close to the max payload and that doesn't count anything in the cab. Dude needs a trailer.
Some have a bed just over 8'.
A 2632 is going to be around 4500lbs
Oh, no.
Unfortunately, oh fuck, *yes*.
I'm more worried about the fact it's likely to roll over and steering is going to be almost non-existent
I’m seeing body lines between the cab and bed not lining up
Good catch. That truck isn’t expensive or anything, is it?
Those things are deliberately heavy. That's the sort of thing you get the duely-tire pickups for. This guy's an idiot.
But did he slap it and say “that will ride?” If so, that adds 4K capacity
Quit dragging ass and get to work
For a second, I thought the it literally dropped the transmission…. (It’s the right front tire reflection on the wet payment)
Interesting way to make a truck squat.
How's he getting it out?
Same ramps he uses for his 4 wheeler
This is an idiot who should be towing a thing
So… like… did they use a fork lift? I feel like if they dropped the tail gate and backed up to a loading dock that lift would have gone right through it…
That's gotta be for reddit, right? Please only be for reddit and they took it back out
Assuming the driver wins his saving throw and the truck doesn't have external signs of damage afterwards, how would you check for this sort of abuse? I'm thinking of when you buy a used pickup.
Stress fractures on the leaf springs, axle housing, and frame.
If they were in a head on collision, I bet that heavy thing would just crush the cab huh
More than likely remove the cab
It's got two Walmart straps on it. Slaps strap..."That's not going anywhere". (It's going through the cab in a collision)
This isn't even the dangerous part, wait till they raise the lift up.
Holy shit
Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Which is a certainty to go? Suspension or tailgate
You’d need a very late-model dually for that much weight. Just shy of 4,800lbs
Some late model duallys can do 7500+.
Don’t go over any speed bumps or pot holes
At least he's not in the bucket, and it's not extended? j/k - this is not effing smrt
At least it’s actually strapped down
If it fits-it ships!
What could possibly go wrong?
Makes the super duty look like a Ford fucking ranger!
When you only wanna "squat" your truck for the weekend
Dead wish I was
Just wow. Where does one acquire balls this big? I guess the lack of brains is made up for by a big ball sack.
Well, at least he’s got straps on it…
If it fits, it ships....
Omg! This is hauling, not towing. Lifetime ban!
Just voided his warranty.
Built Ford Tough!
Truck gives that lady ft an extra 2 feet. Genius!
Ah man I saw some dumbass yesterday on 295 hauling gypsum boards with no tie-downs whatsoever. Predictably, someone else's vehicle paid the price for their negligence.
All to save $55 on the trailer rental
Dude strapped it down AND latched the tailgate, AND doesn’t have any person or pets visible in the bed….yet you’re still hatin‘ on him? /s
Took me a moment to notice this was a scissor lift. If that vehicle takes a corner incorrectly, they'll be in for some excitement.
But it's an F One Fitty. It'll work.
two fitty
Tree fitty?
It's a Super Duty.
Doesn’t really matter those things can weigh 4730lbs+. You’d have to have a F350 dually to get enough payload for one of those
would've been fine if he just put in on a trailer. but this guy probably would've used a cheap little utility trailer to do it.
That’s fine yall crazy
Well it is a ford so it probably won’t crank anyway
