I tote a Mako 295. I originally bought the champagne 350 to pull it with when I initially bought the boat. Has early 2000’s lariat seats in it but unfortunately has a 351 and is a dog. I went and got my idi because the gas burner struggled pulling it. Specially at higher speeds. Couldn’t be happier with the diesel. Air bags help too!

Pretty much whatever I need to haul. Mostly cars but occasionally parts.

That blue Dakota is my buddy's mud truck.

I haul whatever, got a 40' 5th wheel(way too heavy for the truck), and a couple goosenecks that I usually load heavy. The one thing I don't do, is haul fast, lol. But for a truck that I've got less than $6,000 into between cost, and improvements, I can't ask for much more.

I haul cows mostly. Horses too but mostly cows. My last trip to the other ranch I took 6 pregnant momma cows. About 2,000 lbs each, 6k for truck and 3 k for trailer 21k gross?
Most of the road is just a winding hill country 2 lane mostly have to concentrate on being smooth so not to drop any cows.

The killer on my cowhaul route is the 7% 1.2 mile long climb straight up the canyon wall. Last trip is what prompted me to start working on the fuel system, dropped all the way to 2nd gear.

I’ve got a 25’ 14k gooseneck I load with what ever, mostly vehicles or tractors. Built sides for it so I can help people move, make a big run to the scrap yard, or haul rock if needed. Don’t have access to a dump trailer

I don't work mine very hard. I'll usually pull a trailer load of ATVs. About the heaviest I'll pull is a pickup trailer load of firewood. It doesn't struggle too much with either of these.

Luckily the only grades I deal with in south Mississippi are interstate over passes and the boat launch I pull the boat from

About the heaviest I've pulled that I know the weight of is my Bobcat M970 on a triple-mobile-home-axle beavertail pintle hitch trailer.
I'm figuring about 16K behind me, so 22K total or so. I was definitely not going any faster than 60 with that down the highway(poor brakes too), and slowed down into the 40s going up a 6% grade.
I've also hauled that Bobcat locally quite a bit(<45MPH, mostly gravel roads at <30) and she does quite nicely.
