I wouldn't think that would be oversized if the back end of those jet skis were resting on the tailgate. I remember when my mom had a used furniture store, she bought a HUGE upright wardrobe that was too cheap for her to pass up. It was conveniently heavy and about 7 or so feet tall, 4 or 5 feet wide, and about 2 feet deep. The rest of the truck bed was full, and at that time the truck had no tailgate and the big in bed toolbox didn't help. She already bought this wardrobe and it was an all sales final place. We ended up setting the 2 foot deep side on about a 6 inch edge on the bumper and strapped it in good. Drove it about 100 or so miles home that way.

What the hell kind of bed do you have that weighs almost 3 tons?

So is that 7k for the truck? Then 5500 for the bed on the truck, making the truck 12,500 empty?

Then 3k for the trailer I'm guessing? I don't see that either... I know the 20' double axle trailer we use is only about 2500lbs and it looks WAY beefier than that. It's a 10klb rated trailer. Then 7k for the truck on the back? What's going on with that?

I had my 06, our 10klb rated trailer (2500lb actual weight) and a regular cab duramax on mine before. Even that's pushing the limit of the trailer, but I figure that was probably in the 18k gross area.

I want to see some close ups of this 3 ton bed! How on earth did you even get it on the truck? How does it even sit level? That has to be WAY over the axle rating for the rear axle.

from what i can see it looks like a standard bradford built bed. maybe he's got the long sills and cross members boxed and filled with lead... those beds are not that heavy
