I drive a monster of a truck, for those who have no idea what I drive...
2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Off Road 4x4 Quad Cab.
5.9 V8, 46re rebuilt with lots of extra parts for longevity AND a precision +200 lock up converter, 241OR jeep t-case... sct tuned by hemifever then later retuned by me...
Any doubts as to how much it can haul shall be dispelled with a few pictures.
The truck scales empty with me sitting in it at around 6000 lbs. I have hauled 9540 at my heaviest, about 900 lbs over GVWR. The truck came with a "reinforced(extra ribbing)" D44MRF Front Axle and a Chrysler 9.25/Limited Slip/Heavy Service Brakes Package which meant the GVWR went from 7400 in normal QC 4x4 trucks to 8600, same as the V8 2500. I bought it for this specific reason.
It has never failed, never left me stranded, never done anything but work it's butt off for me, so here I raise a glass to our hardest workers...the trucks, and also my kid, the newest generation is lazy as hell but at least when I am breathing down his neck he still works his butt off and he doesn't hesitate to work WITH me whenever I have a big job.
