Note to self. Never. Buy. A. Used. Truck. From. This. Dude.
Why buy new when slightly used will do? LOL
Lmao!
@@MrBudpln I thought for sure these comments would be funny...I saw this first one and laughed for 5 minutes straight.
Post to CG: f350 900,000 miles. All highway miles never over loaded. Pulled a Jon boat. $45k firm I know what I have
Or a trailer. Probably best to not buy anything from him TBH
Ford engineers are closely watching to see how much abuse their trucks can actually handle :)
Rockport1911 yea it can handle it, but the question is how does it hold up over time... and the answer is they don’t. My dad used to pull 24-32k lbs with a 2001 2500hd duramax for years until he got a different job, and he traded that truck in with 356k miles.
Drew w 876k on my 2000 350 we pull 2 bobcats and back hoe on a 45 ft gooseneck they can handle it and last you maintain your truck it will last
Jacob Long you’re either full of shit or it’s a load you’ve pulled very few times. Or maybe just have the lightest 40+ ft trailer and smallest machines known to man. Because for your average 38’+ gooseneck weight and average bobcat weights that’s more than double the rated towing capacity of any 350/3500 made in 2000. You’re talking 28k+ pounds minimum for for a long ass deck over gooseneck trailer and two bobcats. You can maintain (maintenance isn’t the same a repair) them all you want but that doesn’t do much to help when you’re physically exceeding what the parts can handle and they break which leads to having constantly repairing the truck, then still deal with the risk of overheating. I run a 2000 ram 3500 for my old farm truck and with an 18’ bumper pull skidloader trailer and a 10k lb T650 on it with nothing more than a bale spear attachment on the truck barely gets out of its own way towing that and that load weight wise is a touch over the max tow rating. and I’ve often exceeded that with adding hay and other attachments on. And the truck with 233k miles hasn’t held up, and it’s maintained the best that you can maintain a truck with regular fluid changes, filters greasing all the fittings, brakes etc. But just little more than a month ago it stripped all the teeth off 4th gear hauling cattle. Three years ago the trans broke an input shaft, it’ll blow the intercooler boots off when towing heavy if you can’t keep it out of higher boost levels, and its had countless U-joints replaced in every location.
Get a god dam chevy
Derek Monroe so it can get recalled before I get home
For a truck that has a max 32,500 lbs gooseneck towing capacity I would say your truck took it like a champ.
Ben Coleman LOL!!! Really
Ford is the best
@@hr0521 your ignorant of you think otherwise
@@owenhill4309 Amen
Its max is 34,700lbs Ford super duty trucks across the board have a higher towing capacity. Then Chevy or Ram. The F450 goes up to 37,000lbs
For 43,000 lbs, that truck did very well! Ford Built Tough!
"We are burning the transmission right now"
*keeps it floored*
That's the fun part keep flooring it until it gets up hill😂
LOL
What was he supposed to do
That's why I love this guy
I love how he says never doing that again then a week later he’s towing something heavier on the same road
LMFAO 😂
I had a 2011 F550. I towed several 30k+ loaded trailers no problem.. Not quite as bad of road conditions but similar grades. also used an H&S Mini Maxx programmer.. Awesome video keep up the sketchy work!!
Peter Cole his is a 350 though. You’re comparing apples to oranges.
Joe Gosselin No sir he comparing an apple to an apple with a more rigid suspension setup
Jesse Taylor NO a 550 and 350 are completely different trucks. Pulling 45k with and f350 and pulling 30k with a f550 is nothing alike.
My point was to agree with his comment of making an upgrade..yes a 550 is much more rigid than a 250/350 .. I hope to see him upgrade to the next one sooner than later..
Peter Cole as do I! He’s beating the shit out of that truck.
A long awaited video from my favorite snow Mexican and an even wilder load
Mike Baker
LOL!
🤣😂
It's time to graduate to a genuine tractor/trailer combination. You're unsafe in your current configuration. God bless.

These videos will be used by the prosecution when you wind up killing someone.
This guys 'luck' is definitely going to run out sooner or later...
Yeah this guy needs to do more research on the things he's hauling before he hauls them. He doesn't seem to ever know the weight of what he's hauling. I think he gets looks from truck drivers because they know he's overloaded his truck and trailer.
I think that he cares more about views than about his truck
Exactly
Yup, regression to the mean, cant push your luck that far out.
Just spend about 30k on a used daycab tractor if you have a cdl. Save your pick up trucks life.
david anthony that’s what my boss and I were talking about the other day, you can buy a GREAT condition day cab semi truck and trailer for less than you can buy any new 1-ton or 45-500 series truck for. And hit shot guys are suppose to have their CDL anyways. They last longer and are made to withstand million+ miles not 2-300k max.
@@chevyon37s yes definitely. Depending on your hauling needs, and $ situation. If I was this guy, I'd get a 2016 Kenworth T880 daycab. Sell that truck. Or trade it in.
@@goldentrucker7921 and DEFINITELY DON'T TELL THE GUY WHO BUYS IT HE POSTS HIS RUNS ON RUclips. ROTGLMAO!!!
Fuck the truck. Save some else on the road life
45000 lbs is semi truck level weight.
And? He doesn't have the stopping power or the pulling power as a semi there's a reason why maximum weight is a thing.
And that considered a heavy load for a semi. It will pull it no problem, but due mpg and wear and tear I choose not to.
I pull food grade tank trailers. in our trailers are loads are typically around 48,000 pounds. Truck with trailer empty is 30100. And I’m sorry but I would never trust any truck. Whether it’s a 350 450 550... 3500 4500 5500. To ever haul anything near 40,000 pounds. That is insanity it is illegal and this guy should have his license permanently revoked for the remainder of his life. Because all I’ve seen from his videos of him acting stupid pulling over loaded trailers and he is going to kill someone sooner rather than later.
@@LJT7907 all his videos is just proof for his ignorance behavior I get it putting his life in risk but he's also putting a mom with 4 kids in a minivan at risk brakes burn up looses control trailer jack knife kills the minivan he's in jail for life all because he thinks a $60,000 truck is compatible of pulling heavy loads you want to pull heavy loads instead of being a little boy go buy a older heavy haul truck and join the club
$60,000 would actually get him a really decent used big rig. Hell half that would still get an okay for what he does. CVSE here in B.C would murder this dude with fines ahahaha
BTW that shudder you felt near the top of the grade when hauling a heavy load is the wheels slipping and the limited slip trying to keep up. When hauling a heavy load up a steep grade or a gravel hill I always use 4 wheel full time drive.
If I were hauling that heavy truck that 12 percent grade I would have started at the bottom in 4 wheel low and took my time. In any given situation the faster you try to go up a hill the more energy it takes per second or minute. When you stopped and put the Ford into 4 low the transmission temperatures went down. That's because it takes less energy to pull at a slower rate but more time. Basically: "Work Done" = Time x Energy.
more Time = less Energy.
Dot would just love you lol
They wouldnt have enough paper in their units. Resort to emailing the violations to him and hope the judge doesnt have a heart attack when seeingnthe violations hit his desk for processing.
he would fund new tahoe cruisers for every dot cop in the state he got stopped in

@@irishn8 Canada has many the same rules as the US. Especially weights, how the truck is registered and so forth. The only major differences are the hours of service.

YOU HAVE RIGHT TO HE IS GOING TO BLOW SOMETHING APART THE TRUCK IS BEING STRESSED TO MUCH
Who gives a shit about the truck. It's the other lives on the road. Trust me I move drinking rigs in Northern Alberta and BC and regularly haul 80 000lbs to 120 000lbs + on 24 to 48 wheel or more trailer combinations and the thoughts that trump everything else when we are scaling loads, doing load securement, dealing with mechanics making sure nothing is half assed and trucks, trailers, jeeps and boosters are all in their best working order is the thoughts of everyone else on the roads.
A full size pickup could slam into our winch tractors or big bed trucks and they could pass away, we may get whiplash. If we run into a 4 wheeler be it car, truck, SUV, whatever the case, it will likely be a fatality especially if on highways.
That's why we do extensive "pre trip" inspections/walk around, always check slack adjusters on our brake, most of us a properly certified and trained in load securement, and so much more. If one doesn't care about their own life they damn well need to care about others.
I believe once you get the water or trans up to a certain temp every manufacturer de-rates the power to save the engine and driveline from damage. May be why it felt so good until the monster 12% mountain
Heating a Ford trans. that uses Mercon LV Fluid to 220F* starts forming varnish & LV ATF is very sensitive to fluid breakdown. The PCM will put a vehicle into "limp mode" if it detects excessive ATF temps. on certain models. Machines can be replaced, but you're really playing 'Russian Roulette' with your life and others on the roads. I would trade it in before serious repairs are needed.
skippys shop I’d just do a prompt trans flush personally. Rather than trade it in and lose as much or more than you would spend on a trans rebuild or replacement in that new truck depreciation.
@@bschell1969 Anything above 220s starts clutch burning. Cant change the fluid all you want, but then the clutch is gone in the trans, youre SOL and need a rebuild. Just trade it in and play the stupid card on the dealer before the trans gives out.
Brandon Caldwell like I was saying, I’d just flush it and try not to do that again. The depreciation hit on a new truck will generally hit you harder than a rebuild on the off chance you can’t convince them to do it under warranty. Even on a ford.
@@bschell1969 Again, a flush is useless. He already fucked the clutches. All he would do is flush the grit out of the fluid causing more issues. Leave it be and either trade or let the fucker blow. Personally, trade it in before the thing quits. The lost value is minimal when you can write of gaining the lost value back in taxes.
This illustrates exactly why i laugh when my diesel friends think there h d equal what I drive with my class A.this is still 30 k lb lighter .
So when is Ford going to buy this truck back and do a teardown and study and examine the shit out of every component to see what they did right!!!!
you mean so they can do it wrong the next time? cause that seems to be what happens with them at times(atleast certain bits of their history thats exactly what they did)

A 4 or 550 would do you a favor they would be derated but the 488 gear makes a world of difference
I’ve been on an 18% downgrade with a fully loaded semi. No problem, you know why, right truck for the right job. Wisen up. Hills aren’t the problem, ignorant driver is.
[][][]MANN Head south out of Dushore, PA on rt 487. There is a big bill board size sign mapping out the grade with an 18% grade marking on it. Its nothing to come across 12% + grades in West Virginia on the back roads. I do a lot of work with the pipelines, and its just part of the job.
Run from Elkins to Seneca Rocks, WV. Thats some nice running there.

Jr Ismaelツ Thats exactly my point. He’s got the wrong piece of equipment for the job.
@@2006pete379 but to be honest i give the ford props lol amazing truck
That’s 228 Fahrenheit. That’s nothing yet. People get them in the 240s with no problem. Send it
Kyle 6.7 that’s hot. Trans clutches are gonna be sweating
We know they heat them up, they keep us automatic trans. rebuilders in business.
Ford gauges are way off.
@@pawtasticdadof532 Trans temp gauge is spot on in all 6.7 Trans doesnt even commands the fan clutch until 245F. Colling reduction mode (extreme lockup all the time) at 260. Ford engineering deems everything up to 255/260 safe. Mercon LV is a champ.
@@joshuarespecki1883 they not accurate at all. Take a temp gun and shoot the coolers, the lines coming out, etc. And good luck running a transmission at 255 degrees.... that's so laughable.
Im a truck guy, and this video is painful to watch.
No worries brand new truck probably under warranty
Bi Nguyen it should have broken
I love your towing vids man! Shoutout from Manitoba!
That poor truck. Hope you made big money to torture your truck like that.
Yea, hope he charged a new transmission as part of the base expenses, not a smart job to take
trans was fine, good temp. it's those diffs you need to worry about
It was only that hot for a couple hill climbs after that she was fine
@@logdon17 He would have to charge for: a new trans, labor to for the trans, and the same amount of money he would have made in a week (probably 200 dollars) for expenses. Many parts on the truck and the trailer are probably shot to hell as well and will need to be changed soon so, he might as well charge for that too. In conclusion, no it was not worth it. This is a job for a semi.
@@xinferischief1570 just explain to me what you think is fucked up? please and thankyou

Oh, its done gone. I give it at least 4 more times of this type of stupidity and the clutches in the trans are completely gone. Lookse like he already blew through half of it on 1 hill.
yeah hes an idiot, but you gotta make money and if he didnt do it some other idiot wouldve

Any professional trucker uses some "COMMON-SENSE' when taking a load or not. I'm afraid that if you don't start exercising "COMMON-SENSE' you'll never become a professional driver. I feel sorry for the folks near you when you lose total control of your vehicle.
FORD give this man a discount code on an F450 lol ,,, nice video man!
Definitely! He sure put that thing to the test

15:09 "i cant let off the brakes at all" thats definitely not how you tow a load down hill... lol ....this is what happens when non cdl holders tow commercial weight loads
Tow haul mode + vgt brake
Then that's the first thing you want to avoid when hauling a heavy load is having to be on the break so hard
You guys do realize, if he gets a bigger rig, he’s more than likely going to push it to the max. You don’t get views for mediocre content. Great vid my friend!

They're laughing and smiling. Everyone loves me!
in the usa the dot would throw you in jail for hauling that much weight
No they wouldn't if tire weight capacity wasn't exceeded, axles scaled correct, and he runs IFTA, along with being registered for enough weight.
Class a cdl is good for 80,000 this isnt anything as long as the tires arent exceeded
Caleb Lamley it’s still over the weight rating for that truck, still illegal. He definitely wouldn’t go to jail though
Derrick Moyer nope you are wrong there is something call permits
B M have you ever bought a permit the axles still have to be rated for the wight no way he could axle that
Hey you got it done awsome! Just throwing this out there for you , consider finding that sweet spot on your trailer for weight distribution i know that load was weird but just saying, if the blower was up more might of made a difference. Good work awsome vids keep them coming
Love this Video. You have to do what you can . You did it well my friend!
Hope he got the transmission fluid changed after this trip. Time for a class 4/5 truck,
IF you want to lock the trans in 1st gear. You should put the shifter in 1st. Not tell the electronics to do it.
The new transmissions have a manual mode that is electronically selected. You can’t physically put the lever down in 1st gear (as far as I know); it’s either D (drive) or M(manual mode).Works great til the computer decides to override it.
@@joelschermerhorn5447 if you look when he shows the dash, the PRNDL has PRND21. So he can manually lock the trans in low. Using manual low will allow the TCM to override the selection and upshift.
Great editing and soundtrack on this one. Wow keep it up. 👍👍👍
We've pulled a 91K load with our Kenworth W900L with a CAT 15L power plant. BUT first we had modified the truck with a new 18 sp. transmission, new clutch, new turbos, new HD radiator (more than 2x the OEM radiator, added fourth steerable axle, did an in-line rebuild etc. In essence we took a 2003 truck bought for $36K and put $50K into it so it could handle over weight loads. With the crane part on it, we had 8 axles on the ground. Hard drive but safe. Since then we've replaced all the rear shocks and air springs. Much better ride for the driver. We keep a list: "Must do", "Should do" and "Do when you have the money". Works well - earn the money and then invest it.
You're gonna wind up like Grant Thompson.
Dead in the bottom of a ravine!
You have love the inventor of the GoPro. It records the users death.
Man, this is where a gear vendors under drive would come in handy.
Good video. BTBRV put the link in for me. That’s an immense amount of weight. Hope it paid really well. These moments are why I miss granny gear.. lol.
Dude...awesome video. Loved it!
@10:29 "I don't know why they have hills like this". Do you know why they have semi's to haul these loads?
Yep, it's the hill's fault.
Danger is his middle name!! Lls good job man just be safe bud!!
Speaking as someone who haul's 200k plus daily here in the states the reason you had such a hard pull after you unloaded the little shack and snowmobile was your load was uncentered had to much weight on your trailer and not enough on your drives and believe it or not this does make a difference not saying that you don't know that just passing a little info on to the next generation.
Thank you for uploading
Love all the fussing. Glad you take it all well, and dont let it keep you from wanting to share with the rest of us. Impressive rig. I long for people who are willing to push equipment to the limit. I gotta say, these new trucks are no joke. Good luck to you
Imagine the utter destruction if one of the u-joints popped on that driveshaft. One of the most reckless videos I've ever watched. The other commenters are right, kid. You're giving the prosecutors just the evidence they'll need to show the jury...
The ujoints are one of the biggest toughest part of that ford truck
It’s not a Ram! Fords are actually built well
Sad thing is it's only a matter of time before we see this in the states
Jim Bob what’s so bad about that
Sent from Tow Piglet and subscribed!
Giving hotshots a bad name 1 load at a time. Cmon man smh 🥴
That F350 has been really impressive in what you have done to it. I'm surprised you didn't kill the motor yet. We run F550's and never haul as much as you, and they have No Power, huge turbo lag and I have even had one 6.7L PSD spun the bearings. I wouldn't go anything over a F350 pickup box truck because the F550 has reduced horsepower rating of only 330hp and a weaker turbo.
Hopefully he never gets stopped and weighted with some of the loads he hauls. He have some nice fines. Of course not sure how Canada does things. Here in the states he would get fined and not be able to keep going. He would have to get a bigger truck or hire someone to haul it.
I just got a 10 speed and it makes a world of difference towing heavy loads like this!
I pulled a wagon down a dirt road once... by hand... with my 2 year old in it... without brakes
PJ definitely makes the best trailers out there.
Actually pretty un impressed with it. It flexes and twists like crazy, and the welds look like they were done by an apprentice.
You got the like for the DEF bit, haha.
its a miracle that drive shaft doesn't twist like a straw
I’ve done dumb things like this before. It’s best to get the right equipment to handle the load. I don’t like white-knuckle driving.
When you gonna tune the truck? That would help on the hills so much
No snow and that machine is already stuck, yikes. Good pull my man.
if you ever end up driving to maryland, in the states, ill detail that beast of a truck for you my man.
Fords aren’t bad at towing. They’re just commonly seen in shops
That's true I think its because people totally abuse it the point of no repair.
I want more videos like these. Nobody on RUclips does this
I love your dog and this is the first video I've ever seen of yours
Damn man I've always been a Ford guy regardless their all built the same nowadays anyway but still everyone has their favorite..... This is crazy for any truck hahahahaha congratulations on making it and the truck is fine.. that's incredible u really put it to the ultimate test!
I've never seen anyone unhook there trailer as much as u
It's crazy but what you did sounds like something I would do. Like use my 95 f150 to carry 4080lbs of sakrete and 500 lbs of treated lumber all at 1 time in the bed of the truck. Had helper springs but I was still frame on axle and the tires were squatting some. Yep that's me. Good job.
2005 silverado Z71 rated towing of 5600lbs. Ive pulled 14,000lbs up a 7%. 5000lbs in the bed is nothing to me... Still have the truck today, but before i blow the trans i figured time to upgrade. Just because it can be done doesnt mean it should be.
@Swampy didnt take much to maintain it long as you did regular maintenance.
Ford Trucks are amazing! 10,000lbs over the maximum weight limit and she still accomplished the task!
Gotta admit that's pretty darn impressive
dude, fellow Canadian here, i love your videos, but if your gonna keep hauling heavy like you do, you should maybe consider an F-450 without a box. maybe a nice alu utility tray. keep em coming !!
But can it pull a 3,000lb rPod?
Are we gonna see your BIGGER truck hauling some heavy loads like this sometime?
@@lloydhorn5450 nope. Preferably not.

“It’s not a video game. I only get one shot at this.” Lol
This just goes to show its not about how much you can pull, its stopping all of that weight in a safe manner.
The whole time I was waiting for a boom
You should think about getting after marker radiator for you transmission because when it stock they are much small and can’t dissipate heat as much as bigger ones

Tow piglet just shouted you out danger industries. You catching some attention now keep the videos coming.
Big truck big rv sent me on this.
Same
That poor truck, ruined.
Like your videos keep on rolling
just a few questions. When was the last time you cleaned your radiators on that beast? When was the last transmission oil and converter oil change? And if you are going to keep getting those heavy loads like that, maybe its time for you to do some bolt on transmission cooling upgrades. Even if you don't run those heavy loads all the time, the cooling upgrades will still be better for you in the long run. Just a thought...
@Peter Angles I had a F350 that I used to run up and down I-81 and every 25k would change out all the fluids. Did not have an aux trans/oil cooler on it. never had an overheat issue.
Definitely need a 450 or 550
the 350’s actually are rated to tow more in 99% of configurations
@@brendan747 the 450-550 has extra weight due to upgrades thus reduced rated tow capacity. You have access to better gear ratios for towing. It has larger brakes, larger axles, stiffer springs, higher payloads per config extra frame reinforcements, wide track front axle for more stability and better turning radius. Among other little tweaks. The truck might weigh a couple hundred lbs more. Steeping up up in gear ratio will more then compensate for that. He's already over rated limits so makes no difference. A 450 will pull more and stop more. It's safer overall for heavier loads regardless of ratings.
SlowcarsInc i know the differences, i was just stating that legally, he is less over weight with his 350. he needs a 650+ for the weights he pulls
@@brendan747 even a 650 is not rated for what he tows. He honestly needs a class 8 truck for the weight he's towing. No class 3-7 truck that I know of is rated for a 45k trailer. Although the need for 4wd etc he'd def overall benifit from the haviest frame largest brake 4wd he can get which I think is typically a 650/6500 series truck. He'll be down on power but have an extra 3k of truck to tame the load and prolly twice the brakes. I know 4wd is available in all classes of trucks classes but the higher the class the more costly and less common it becomes. As well as practicality and maintenance etc. I do believe it's legal for him to tow the weight where he's from but I'm not sure on that.
@Yar Nunya is that the law in his Provence? In my state you can exceed gvwr and tow ratings if you've paid for the weight via your registration as long as your within what you paid you're good.
I've only towed a small load in comparison (7,000) but I would think the worst thing to do would be stop on a hill. Even if the trans is suffering, getting it moving would be a lot more difficult.
I have a f250 and as I watch this video, I look down at my truck and think to myself sorry tranny but I’m not stopping bc stopping on the steep hill then start again would seem to cause more damage getting 43 thousand pounds moving again
18:21 thank god im not the only one that gets memorized by spinning radar
So. We hauled two standad tread tractors from Iowa to Ohio with a 88 ford non turbo diesel. Check the weight before unloading 65K plus. Truck was fine and the trailer was fine afterwards. 45K is normal run to the tractor pulls with two or three tractors plus extra weights. One of the biggest problem today is no more sticks and crap for gears with tall tires.
