Stihlmans Wood,Tree cutting ramblings...........

[struggle]

you usually stop loading when the wheels fall off HAHAHA

on a serious note i think there is 2204.6 pounds in a ton and that falcon is a 1 ton ute and being that is a soft oak there ain't much waight in it

When you say one ton is that including the rear weight of the vehicle as well or just what is allowed for cargo only. Lots of manufactures are kind of fuzzy about that.

Also a one ton truck here will hold actually far more than one actual ton. More like twice that or more depending on how the vehicle is set up. The ute looks more in line for body size to our Pontiac G8 than a full size truck.

Someone in CA is trying to sell one in ute form but was salvage vehilce they adpated a ute style rear to a G8 holden.

I am guessing you ute has a solid axle unlike the holden set up.

Come on Andrew fess up. What your ute can carry and what it can carry legally are two completely different numbers
