2.5 Ton pickups

Saw and add in the Truck Autotrader. Bigasstrux Kind of a cool style of truck, no lift just big.

How do they tow, have to build some kind of hitch off the frame under the bed? they would also need some kind of bumper in the back and the mudflaps lowered to be legal here i spose...

no different then the F650's and CXT's that are running around.. they can tow a bumper pull.. Pretty much worthless for anything else though. Around here people just use them as a big business card.

Theres one thats about three different colors around the yelm area.

Pretty cool.

Remember the cyclops?:corn:

Those beds look fairly useless to me. I could see having one of those trucks with a flatbed or 5th wheel hitch and an appropriate trailer.

My sister has a huge Kodiak 4 door truck that looks like a tow truck bed for towing the huge gooseneck horse trailer.

a gooseneck set up for it would work.. Wouldn't ever get a 5th wheel on there.. Not the 4wd ones at least. My neighbor has a 4door freightshaker he hauls his cars with. Now that is an awesome tow rig.. Even if it is a freighshaker :redneck:

Those are both cool and stupid at the same time.

I've seen some nice ones, especially when someone takes and OLD rig (like pre 70's) and does it up that way, but the newer ones just look bloated, and worthless. Like was said, I giant buisness card (for which they work).

Now the medium duty toy-hauler rigs with the 5th wheel beds (typically 2wd, so they are much lower) are pretty pimp. And I think the only proper thing to use with some of these MASSIVE 5th wheels guys haul with standard 1-tons.


If I was going that route for a super HD tow-pig/driver. I'd do and F550 with a bed. Lower but has the beef.

Ya mean like this? :redneck:

And my dream toyhauler would be an old 40's or 50's COE on a newer dually chassis.. diesel powered of course :awesomework:
