Payload SUCKS!!

[Mountain Man]

F-150 is a half ton pickup. A half ton is 1000 lbs. what’s the problem. Do the math.

Hmmmmm........ my GT500 did in fact, totally suck off-road. My SLK55 sucks off-road even worse. That being said, I have to say, in all seriousness, the payload on my 13 Raptor, TOTALLY SUCKS! I looked in the user manual and glanced at the gvwr on the door pillar when I bought and everything kinda looked like my 12 f150 so I figured "cool! It's the best of everything!"... Then I put trailer brakes on it on the way home and...... now I'm starting to think I may have spent a bit too much time down by the creek frolicking with my daughters imaginary pet unicorns ... This is REALLY not much of a truck truck. Reality came crashing right in for me fairly quickly.....
So, that being said.... without ******** up the road handling (since that's what I really do with this thing), are air bags gonna be my best bet?

Waste of money just take the truck to a spring shop have them add a leaf. Way cheaper and does same thing. That’s what I did

What did that increase your payload to?

IMO what you did is a waste of money. Making shit springs shittier.

I miss the forums where you could call an idiot an idiot and not have everyone else think you're the idiot.

haha ok I’ll bite; which one did you mean? Maybe you should have googles your own word. Oh yeah and just get the HD deaver’s already; what you need is specifically what they were designed for, increasing your payload.

I think you are all, especially if you live in the east, missing the real question here. Where the hell exactly are these hundreds of miles of logging roads? I’m dying to drive on them. Are they open to anyone? Ty

Just head North of Moosehead and they'll never find you.

I thought about this and opted for a trailer when I need to haul anything big or heavy. Then you have to decide if you need a trail capable trailer.

I already have one that I'm working on. I just need to address tires and ride height.
