[jose]

Mate of mine sent this to me this morning.

 

Will carry 10 Tonnes appraently!

 

2011 FORD F250 in CHESTER on Auto Trader Vans

[IVECOKID]

I run a F350 but not a Dually and down rated to3.5 from 5/6 Ton in the States , if it has been through the appropriate vosa test etc then it will gross at 10t possibly, they run on 8 stud axles so possible. Also that has the Lastest engine fitted which is reliable compared to the other 6.0 and 6.4 Diesels that literally Haemorrhage money . Great trucks but they have a turning circle of the Titanic but nothing will touch it for Towing !

 

I am working in Chester tomorrow right by that Dealer so one will have to have a nosey .

I thought they where about 7-7.5ton gross. Cant see you carrying 10 ton in the box unless you moving lead ore:biggrin:

[IVECOKID]

I think the advert is mis leading , possibly the body is built to carry 10t but not legally.

I was about to start looking for an iveco daily tipper to run alongside the supercab ranger tipper which has become the bottleneck in our work rate. But now that truck would make me very happy going to work!

The 10 Ton capacity must refer to the Gross Maximum Ve-hical Weight - ie. it presupposes the driver and passenger each weigh 500kg. Plus the fuel - another 500kg. Plus lunch and soda pop - 250kg per person. So the payload is only really 8 tonnes. Would they be short tonnes or long tonnes? I heard the USA tonne is a bit lighter....Easyliftguy?

No way does it carry 10t my 18t lorry only has a payload of 9t

and an 8 wheeler grab will take about 16.

2000 lb for a ton here in Florida. This fish tale of 10,000 Ton capacity is a real whopper. I own a 2000 F-350 dullie with the V-10 Triton engine, petrol model.

I can haul in the back of the bed up to 4,000 lbs comfortably. I would not try and haul more simply because there is no additional room. Roughly once a month I pull a 36' trailer around and the overall gross weight is 24,000 lbs.

Anything more than that becomes problematic and stop and go traffic just gets to be to dramatic for me.

put 10 ton in that tiny tipper bed and it would flatten it.
